Quick overview
DryRun Security is an AI-powered assistant that sits in your development workflow to run automated security checks as you write and submit code. It inspects code changes when a pull request is opened, giving developers immediate feedback about potential security consequences so teams can fix issues early without needing in-depth security expertise.
How it fits into your workflow
- Operates continuously during development and flags issues at pull-request time.
- Provides clear, actionable guidance so engineers can address risks as part of their normal review process.
- Designed to be unobtrusive, helping teams learn secure practices without disrupting feature delivery.
Analysis approach that reduces noise
DryRun uses context-aware vulnerability scanning to evaluate changes in the scope of each pull request. By taking surrounding code and intent into account, it lowers the rate of irrelevant alerts and false positives common in simpler scanners, making results more trustworthy for developers.
Platforms and languages supported
- Python
- Golang
- Express (Node.js)
- Rails
Installation and impact on productivity
DryRun can be added quickly as a GitHub App, simplifying setup and enabling fast security reviews directly in pull requests. Faster feedback cycles reduce rework, shorten review times, and help teams maintain a safer codebase without slowing development.
Paid alternative to consider
ChatViz (paid): a commercial option that offers comparable security analysis and developer-oriented reporting for teams looking for a different interface or feature set.
