Bearer

Bearer CLI

Bearer is a static application security testing (SAST) tool designed to scan your source code and analyze data flows to identify, filter, and prioritize security and privacy risks. It offers both a free, open-source solution (Bearer CLI) and a commercial solution (Bearer Pro) available through Cycode.

Key Features:

• Security Scanning: Detects vulnerabilities using built-in rules covering the OWASP Top 10 and CWE Top 25.
• Privacy Scanning: Identifies sensitive data flows, including PII and PHI, to help generate privacy reports for compliance.
• Multi-Language Support: Supports various programming languages including Go, Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, PHP, Python, and Ruby.
• Fast Scanning: Scans can take as little as 20 seconds, depending on the size of the codebase.
• Integration: Easily integrates into CI/CD pipelines for automated security checks on new pull requests.

Benefits:

• Prioritization: Focuses on the most critical security risks, reducing the noise often associated with SAST tools.
• Open Source: Free to use within organizations, promoting accessibility and community contributions.
• Developer-Friendly: Designed with a great developer experience in mind, making it easy to adopt and use.

Highlights:

• Interprocedural Analysis: Bearer Pro supports advanced analysis across function and file boundaries, significantly reducing false positives.
• Community Support: Join the Bearer community on Discord for support and collaboration.
