Bearer
Developer-first SAST for security and privacy

Bearer is a developer-first Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tool that detects and prioritizes code security and privacy risks within CI/CD workflows. It identifies anti-patterns, classifies sensitive data types like PII and PHI, and integrates with GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket. Bearer has been acquired by Cycode and offers both a free open-source CLI and a cloud product.
Bearer CLI scans source code to detect security vulnerabilities, classify sensitive data flows, and integrate remediation suggestions directly into developer workflows via GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket.
