Bearer

Bearer makes static application security testing software for developers. Its site now says the company has been acquired by Cycode, an application security posture platform.

What Bearer offers

• Open SAST engine — a command-line scanner that inspects code for security weaknesses.
• Workflow integration — checks that run within GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket so risks surface early in development.
• Privacy detection — finds personal data, health data and other sensitive types, plus data exfiltration risks, directly in code.
• GitHub app — in-pull-request remediation suggestions and handling of false positives.

Who it works with

Bearer addresses security teams and developers who want security and privacy checks built into how software is written.

Key facts
