Quick FAQ
Semgrep OSS is a lightweight and fast program analysis tool backed by community rules.
Semgrep OSS is suited for those that need to scan large amounts of code on an ad-hoc/one-time basis, with a high tolerance for false positives.
For example, consultants, security auditors, and pentesters may find Semgrep OSS suitable for their needs, and easy to implement into their existing workflows.
Analysis capabilities: Semgrep OSS is limited to single-file and single-function analysis. Pro Engine analyzes data flow across files and functions to uncover more true positives and less false positives.
Pro rules: Semgrep AppSec uses proprietary, high-confidence rules written by our research team that leverage cross-file and cross-function capabilities. Pro rules are written to generate minimal noise, so findings can be surfaced to developers without inundating them with false positives.
Semgrep AppSec is for security teams that need to shift left and scale their SAST, SCA, and Secrets coverage, but struggle to do so due to false positives and noise.
Semgrep AppSec integrates seamlessly into existing developer workflows, provides more accurate results, and has features like Assistant and PR comments that profoundly improve triage and remediation processes (for developers and security engineers alike).
Integration into CI and development flows: Semgrep Pro is portable and fast like OSS, but includes a platform that goes beyond scan results to help security teams and developers triage and remediate issues before they hit main.
Control over the developer experience: Semgrep Pro gives teams granular control over which issues are surfaced to developers and how they are surfaced. This lets AppSec teams shift left at their own pace, without risking their reputations.
Semgrep Assistant: Semgrep assistant uses AI to speed up and reduce the cognitive load required during triage and remediation workflows (Auto-fix, auto-triage, etc).
Seamless integration into developer workflows: Semgrep Pro can automatically surface findings to developers via PR comments, Jira tickets, etc - but only if security teams are confident in a rule's accuracy.
