Sourcery

Sourcery reviews pull requests to catch security issues and vulnerabilities for development teams.

About Sourcery

Sourcery is an AI code review tool that reviews changed code for vulnerabilities and explains its findings alongside the diff. It also runs scheduled scans that flag exposed secrets, vulnerable code, misconfigured infrastructure and dependencies with known CVEs across the existing codebase. It is intended for teams using GitHub or GitLab who can't afford to ship bugs.

How to evaluate Application Security

This is how the CIOPages Research Team evaluates this category. It is not an assessment of Sourcery. It comes from our DevSecOps & Application Security Testing buyer guide.

25%

Finding Accuracy & Risk Prioritization

False-positive and false-negative rates on your own code; reachability analysis (is the vulnerable function actually called?); runtime/exposure context; EPSS/CVSS-based scoring; how a flood of findings collapses to a short, ranked, defensible work queue

20%

Developer Workflow Integration

Native IDE plugins, PR/MR checks and inline comments, SCM (GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket/Azure DevOps) and CI/CD integration, quality/security gates, credible one-click autofix, and how little context-switching a developer needs to remediate

20%

Scanning Coverage & Engine Depth

SAST, SCA, secrets, IaC, container, and DAST/API coverage; supported languages and frameworks; vulnerability and malicious-package intelligence; SBOM generation and open-source license analysis; scan speed on large monorepos

15%

ASPM & Consolidation

De-duplication and correlation across first- and third-party scanners, code-to-cloud/runtime context, application risk graph or single risk score per app, policy-as-code, and openness to ingesting tools you already own rather than locking you in

10%

AI-Generated Code Security

Detection of AI-assisted/AI-authored code, guardrails for coding-assistant and agentic workflows, security of LLM/MCP integrations and open-source AI models, and whether the platform keeps pace with code generated faster than humans review it

10%

Governance, Compliance & Deployment

RBAC/SSO, audit trails and attestation, policy gates mapped to PCI-DSS/SOC 2/NIST SSDF, SBOM/VEX export, SaaS vs. self-managed/air-gapped and FedRAMP options, and clean API/data export for your own reporting

Related Buyer Guides

Our buyer guides across Cybersecurity. Each one compares the main vendors in its category and what buyers weigh up.

AI SOC Agents

AI agents now investigate security alerts end to end and hand analysts a verdict with the evidence attached. The products differ less in the AI than in what surrounds it: who reviews the verdict, what the agent is allowed to do on its own, and how the bill grows with your alert volume.

API Security Platforms

The API is now the primary attack surface, and a WAF pointed at it isn't API security. Evaluate Salt, Akamai (Noname), Imperva, F5, Traceable, Wallarm, Cequence, and Data Theorem on whether they actually discover your shadow APIs and catch BOLA and business-logic abuse at runtime — not just sign endpoints off as “protected.”

Attack Surface Management (ASM / CTEM)

Evaluate Wiz, CrowdStrike Falcon Surface, Microsoft Defender EASM, Cortex Xpanse, Censys, CyCognito, Tenable, and runZero across EASM, CAASM, and platform-embedded camps — judged on discovery accuracy and how cleanly the surface feeds prioritization, not how many assets it claims to find.
