Types of AI application security testing software
All-in-one platforms for small teams
Aikido Security and Arnica bundle code scanning, dependency checks, secrets and cloud checks into one console with a free tier. They suit a startup that has no AppSec engineer, wants sensible defaults first, and prefers one invoice to four separate scanner subscriptions.
Rule engines with AI triage
Semgrep and GitHub Code Security (CodeQL) run query-based static analysis and layer AI on top for triage and suggested fixes. They reward teams willing to read and tune rules, and they keep the scanning logic inspectable instead of hidden behind a vendor model.
Supply chain and dependency specialists
Endor Labs and Mend.io began with open-source dependency risk and reachability, meaning whether your code calls the vulnerable function. Both have since added first-party SAST, but their depth is still in dependencies, patches and SBOMs, so test the code scanning separately.
Enterprise application security suites
Checkmarx, Veracode, Cycode and Snyk Enterprise sell wide platforms with posture management, governance and many scan types under one contract. They are built for security teams that report to auditors, manage hundreds of repositories, and accept a sales-led buying process.
