About Bearer
Bearer provides a developer-first static application security testing (SAST) solution comprising a free and open-source CLI and a cloud platform for code security at scale. It integrates directly into developer workflows and CI/CD systems to detect and prioritize application security risks early in the development process. The platform emphasizes privacy-by-design, identifying anti-patterns and detecting/classifying sensitive data such as PII and PHI, as well as spotting data exfiltration risks directly from source code. Bearer has been acquired by Cycode and positions its capabilities within the broader Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) ecosystem.
