Head-to-Head Comparison
DryRun Security vs ZeroPath
Start with a security requirement your team needs to enforce. This comparison helps you evaluate DryRun and ZeroPath across policy and review workflows. DryRun evaluates natural-language requirements against application context and can fail configured checks that your source-control protections require before merge.

| What this tool covers | ℹ | ℹ SAST, SCA, Secrets, IaC. Partial: Container. |
— |
| AI & Intelligence9 | |||
| AI-Native Architecture | ✓ | ✓ AI-centered analysis combines static candidate discovery with contextual investigation and validation. Source |
Tie |
| Agentic / Multi-Agent System | ✓ PR review and repository investigations use specialized security agents and evaluations. Source |
✓ Multi-agent scan pipeline |
Tie |
| Natural Language Policies | ✓ | ~ Custom rules can be expressed in plain English; depth and policy enforcement maturity unclear |
DryRun leads |
| Model-Independent Verification | ✓ DryRun security evaluation is separate from developer or supported coding-agent repair. Changed code receives fresh review. Source |
✗ Findings come from ZeroPath's own pipeline; no model-independent verification step. |
DryRun leads |
| Code Security Knowledge Graph | ✓ PR reviews and DeepScan both build and use the DryRun Security Context Graph. |
✓ AST call graph with annotations |
Tie |
| 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. |
✗ — |
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 |
✗ — |
DryRun leads |
| Custom DryRun Cyber Models | ✓ | ✓ Custom LLMs trained on real vulnerabilities; AST + LLM hybrid |
Tie |
| Multi-model Architecture | ✓ Routes each task to the best-fit model rather than relying on a single LLM. |
✗ — |
DryRun leads |
| AI Coding Agent Security6 | |||
| Securing AI-Generated Code | ✓ Reviews human- and AI-written code in connected, configured workflows. Source |
~ Positioned for AI-generated code review; scope is scanning output, not live guardrails. |
DryRun leads |
| 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 dashboard only; no AI-coding observability product. |
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 |
✗ No dedicated AI-agent skill scanning. |
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 |
✓ Open-source MCP server (2025) |
Tie |
| Continuous Enforcement Layer | ✓ Configured PR findings fail checks; required source-control protections enforce the customer’s merge policy. Source |
✓ PR checks can fail above configured thresholds and be required by source-control merge protections. Source |
Tie |
| Per-Review Economics (predictable vs. usage-metered) | ✓ Flat subscription pricing based on team size. Usage pricing applies to DeepScan product. |
✓ Subscription pricing. |

| Code Security Intelligence3 | |||
| Business Logic Flaw Detection | ✓ Investigates authorization and business-logic vulnerabilities such as IDOR and tenant-isolation failures. Source |
~ Vendor claims 50%+ of critical findings are business logic; unverified |
DryRun leads |
| Git Behavioral Analysis | ✓ DeepScan uses Git Behavioral Graphs for churn, temporal coupling, knowledge decay, anomalies and intent analysis. Source |

ℹ 4.5/5 (11 reviews) — g2.com/products/zeropath/reviews |
— |
| 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 "Finds serious security vulnerabilities including business logic bugs that other scanners miss." — Yaacov T., CTO, Small-Business (g2.com/products/zeropath/reviews) |
— |
| 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 "UI keeps changing very fast since the product is changing rapidly." — Manisha A., Relationship Manager, Small-Business (g2.com/products/zeropath/reviews) |
— |
| Common G2 Complaint Themes | ℹ UI/portal speed; desire for more analyzer customization (g2.com/products/dryrun-security/reviews) |
ℹ No G2 reviews to cite — zero public customer validation on G2 despite claiming enterprise customers |
