Head-to-Head Comparison

DryRun Security vs Claude Security

When evaluating Claude Security, focus on how findings become decisions in your development workflow. DryRun performs automated adversarial review using retained application context and your security requirements. Compare review scope, configured merge checks and fix guidance for the coding agents your team uses.

Anthropic’s hosted code-security product, available in public beta for Claude Enterprise.

This comparison covers hosted Claude Security on Claude.ai. It excludes managed Code Review and the separate Claude Security plugin. Product scope

Choose DryRun when AppSec needs to govern the change.

Your coding tools will change. Your security requirements still have to hold. DryRun connects adversarial investigation to configured merge enforcement, repairs through supported coding agents, and inspectable evidence. Your team sets the conditions for shipping and can examine how those conditions were applied.

Configured requirement
Required check
Coding-agent repair
Fresh review
Inspectable evidence

DryRun documents per-policy and severity-based blocking through required source-control checks. Hosted Claude Security documents continuous scanning and a repair handoff to Claude Code. It also provides API/MCP integrations and tracks fixes made outside Claude Code. Native merge blocking is not established in the reviewed Claude Security documentation. In an enterprise evaluation, demonstrate the complete sequence: enforce a requirement, repair the code in a supported workflow, independently review the change, and inspect the resulting evidence.

Capability	DryRun Security	Claude Security	Verdict
Detection Categories1
What this tool covers	ℹ PR and repository security review, dependency analysis, secrets analysis and Terraform IaC review. Active-secret verification is attempted where supported. Source 1 · Source 2 · Source 3 · Source 4 · Source 5	ℹ AI-native source-code vulnerability analysis and suggested patches. Product source	—
AI & Intelligence9
AI-Native Architecture	✓ Automated adversarial review combines security agents, application context and deterministic analysis. Source 1 · Source 2	✓ AI-native security analysis with baseline and ongoing scans. Product source · Product update	Tie
Agentic / Multi-Agent System	✓ PR review and repository investigations use specialized security agents and evaluations. Source	~ Agentic security investigation with multi-stage finding verification. A multi-agent architecture for the hosted product is not documented. Product documentation	DryRun leads
Natural Language Policies	✓ Natural-language requirements are evaluated against code context; configured findings can fail required source-control checks. Source 1 · Source 2	~ Editable threat models and policy context inform scans; dedicated merge-gate policy evaluation is not established. Setup guide · Product update	DryRun leads
Model-Independent Verification	✓ DryRun security evaluation is separate from developer or supported coding-agent repair. Changed code receives fresh review. Source	✗ Reviews repository code in a separate security-evaluation workflow. Analysis uses Anthropic models. Product source	DryRun leads
Code Security Knowledge Graph	✓ PR reviews and DeepScan both build and use the DryRun Security Context Graph.	✗ Persistent project knowledge and threat models; a graph implementation is not established. Setup guide · Product update	DryRun leads
Cross-repo Analysis	✓ DryRun looks locally first and, when needed, automatically investigates relevant context, such as authorization logic, across repositories it has permission to access.	✗ Traces relationships across repositories within a project; eight-repository limit. Product documentation · Setup guide	DryRun leads
Code Security Memory	✓ Retained application context and feedback inform later investigations; changed code receives fresh review. Scanner-excluded candidates and human dismissals are distinct records. Source	✗ Retains project context and dismissal notes for subsequent reviews. Setup guide	DryRun leads
Custom DryRun Cyber Models	✓ DryRun reports training and optimizing models for security analysis, including a security-finding classifier. Source 1 · Source 2	✗ Uses Anthropic's model family, including Claude Mythos. Product documentation	DryRun leads
Multi-model Architecture	✓ Routes each task to the best-fit model rather than relying on a single LLM.	✗ Mythos powers scans; some subcomponents may use other models. Product documentation	DryRun leads
AI Coding Agent Security6
Securing AI-Generated Code	✓ Reviews human- and AI-written code in connected, configured workflows. Source	✓ Reviews source code for vulnerabilities and proposes patches for human review. Product source	Tie
AI Coding Visibility / Observability	✓ Code Insights with AI Assistance (beta): NL queries for risk, trends, exposure; org-wide visibility; per-repo drill-down; file-level security history	~ Findings and review history; AI-authorship attribution is not established. Product documentation	DryRun leads
Malicious AI Agent Skill Detection	✓ Policy Library includes Malicious AI Agent Skills Detection: flags skills/plugins that could enable data theft, backdoors, or code execution	✗ Dedicated malicious-agent-skill detection is not established in the reviewed Claude Security documentation. Product source · Product documentation · Setup guide · Product update	DryRun leads
MCP Integration	✓ DryRun Insights MCP server: security summaries, PR analysis, trend monitoring, file-level history; connects via Direct HTTP, Claude Shortcuts, or mcp-remote	✓ Claude Security connector exposes projects and findings through MCP. Product update	Tie
Continuous Enforcement Layer	✓ Configured PR findings fail checks; required source-control protections enforce the customer’s merge policy. Source	✗ Automatically scans changes; native merge blocking is not established. Product source	DryRun leads
Per-Review Economics (predictable vs. usage-metered)	✓ Flat subscription pricing based on team size. Usage pricing applies to DeepScan product.	✗ Enterprise subscription and an eligible Claude Code seat required. Usage is billed at direct token cost, with no additional Claude Security platform fee; spend limits are available. Setup and billing	DryRun leads
Code Security Intelligence3
Business Logic Flaw Detection	✓ Investigates authorization and business-logic vulnerabilities such as IDOR and tenant-isolation failures. Source	✓ Documents detection of complex logic and access-control vulnerabilities. Product source	Tie
Git Behavioral Analysis	✓ DeepScan uses Git Behavioral Graphs for churn, temporal coupling, knowledge decay, anomalies and intent analysis. Source	✗ Can read Git history during security investigation; dedicated churn, temporal-coupling, knowledge-decay, temporal-anomaly, or intent analysis is not documented. Product source	DryRun leads
Continuous Baseline & Risk Trending	✓ Risk Register with Critical/High/Medium/Low severity; AI Assistance for Insights with NL queries, trend monitoring, and 30-day window analysis	~ Baseline and ongoing scans with fix tracking; broader risk-trend analytics are not established. Setup guide · Product update	DryRun leads
Workflow & Supply Chain2
SCM Support	✓ GitHub and GitLab (native apps with OAuth)	~ GitHub and GitHub Enterprise Server through the app; other Git providers through repository tokens. Setup guide	DryRun leads

Notable G2 Praise (Attributed)	ℹ "DryRun goes far beyond what rule-based SAST tools offer. It catches things other tools completely miss — like middleware that's defined but never mounted, or trust boundary misalignments." — Jabez A., Director, Product Security Architecture, Enterprise (g2.com/products/dryrun-security/reviews)	ℹ Product-specific Claude Security review evidence not verified.	—
Notable G2 Criticisms (Attributed)	ℹ "I do somewhat wish there were more customization options for tuning the analyzers, but that seems to be in the works." — Kyle R. (g2.com/products/dryrun-security/reviews)	ℹ Product-specific Claude Security review evidence not verified.	—
Common G2 Complaint Themes	ℹ UI/portal speed; desire for more analyzer customization (g2.com/products/dryrun-security/reviews)	ℹ Product-specific Claude Security review evidence not verified.	—
