DryRun Security

DryRun Security: A Developer's Automated Security Sidekick

DryRun Security is an AI-powered security tool designed to integrate seamlessly into a developer's workflow, particularly when working with GitHub. Its primary function is to serve as an automated security assistant that provides real-time security context and analysis within pull requests. By assessing every code change, the tool aims to ensure that security is baked into the development process from the start, providing guidance and insights without requiring developers to have in-depth security expertise.

Unobtrusive and Context-Aware Security Analysis

• Automates security reviews, moving them up in the development pipeline to occur as code is written
• Contextual Security Analysis (CSA) model evaluates pull requests using multiple factors including the surface of the change, the programming language involved, the intent behind the code, detections of any issues, and the environment in which the code will run
• Checks for a range of security concerns such as Authentication and Authorization, Sensitive Codepaths and Functions, Authorship and Intent, and Code Brittleness
• Designed to rapidly analyze and provide feedback, enhancing the security of code without impacting the speed of development

"Our drop-in solution adds security context as you write code... DryRun Security is by your side, so you can focus on what you do best, coding."

Seamless Integration and User Experience

By presenting its findings directly in the pull request, DryRun Security aims to make its security assessments easily accessible and actionable for developers. The tool offers:

• An easy installation process, claimed to take less than a minute via the GitHub App
• The promise of getting code reviewed and verified swiftly, offering near-real-time feedback
• Utilization of the latest AI technologies to conduct security checks and provide relevant information before code merges occur
• Support for various languages and frameworks with plans to expand based on user feedback

The tool's focus on developer productivity is demonstrated by its attention to minimizing disruptions to the development pipeline while enhancing the overall security posture of the software being developed.
