AI Code Security: Build vs. Buy
Why every organization shipping AI-generated code needs an independent verification layer, and why building one is a permanent platform investment, not a side project.
Prompts are not controls. Systems are.
Connecting a model to your development pipeline is straightforward. Building something security and engineering teams can trust is much harder. Effective AI code security requires application context, exploitability validation, policy enforcement, governance, and continuous evaluation as models and codebases evolve.
Learn what it takes to build and maintain an AI code security platform and why many organizations are choosing an independent verification layer for AI generated code.

DryRun isn't your normal SAST, it's your dedicated secure code review agent who is never too busy for a security review. DryRun enables busy security professionals by screening out the noise, providing direct feedback to engineers where they work, and working as a force multiplier for AppSec teams.

"At Commerce, we’re building AI-driven shopping experiences, and agentic checkouts are changing everything. We chose DryRun because OWASP LLM app risks are all about context, and we wanted to build security in from day one. DryRun outperformed every other tool we tested by far, and its contextual security analysis actually understands our code the way our engineers do.”

“As we lean harder into AI-generated code and highly customized delivery environments for our customers, we need more than a traditional code scanner. DryRun Security lets us continuously understand and explain the security posture of what we’re building, internally and for Fortune 50 clients, in a way that actually maps to how modern engineering teams work. The combination of real-time, context-aware analysis and MCP capabilities gives us a path to turn raw findings into customer-ready artifacts and ongoing assurance. For us, DryRun Security is less ‘AI code review’ and more a core piece of how we’re building an AI-first security program going into 2026 and beyond.”

With DryRun Security, it feels like we’ve more than doubled our AppSec team. We can focus on the pull requests that truly matter, thanks to Code Insights. What’s more, our developers get instant, actionable guidance on writing secure code — it’s like having a security coach in every pull request. The tool has transformed how we approach application security, scaling our efforts without adding headcount or slowing development.

With DryRun Security, we’ve transformed how we manage application security across our global development team. The GitHub integration ensures that our developers get precise and instant feedback directly in their workflow, enabling them to fix security issues without skipping a beat. The tool has not only helped us catch risks like hardcoded credentials early but has also fostered a culture of security among our developers. DryRun Security is an indispensable part of our AppSec toolkit.

As the Director of Operations and Security of a successful tech startup, I wear many hats. With DryRun Security's out-of-the-box analyzers, I’ve found I no longer have to read through 40 PRs a day to find the two that are doing something unexpected. This is how I was able to identify sub-domain registration code that was going to allow a non-compliant domain, which would have taken down our DNS database for our whole customer base.

I love seeing how their contextual analysis upends a lot of assumptions I had burned into my brain about the limits of automation. There are whole classes of vulnerabilities I used to dogmatically say required humans to detect that they are able to identify and that’s super-cool. It is rare that I’m so happy to be wrong.

We've been using the DryRun Security app for months, and we highly recommend it! It automatically evaluates every GitHub pull request, so we know the solutions we're delivering to our clients are covered, plus the results are wicked fast and fit our development team’s needs.

We’re a leading open-source application security team with lots of community support, and because of that growth, sometimes code reviews can get complicated. Using DryRun Security, I've found the allowed authors feature helpful as it flags sensitive file changes in pull requests submitted by the committers who aren't approved to change certain parts of the codebase. One of the other things I love about it is how we could quickly get up and running in just a couple of minutes.
