gitleaks Description
Gitleaks serves as a static application security testing (SAST) tool designed to identify and mitigate hardcoded secrets, such as passwords, API keys, and tokens, within Git repositories. This user-friendly, comprehensive tool allows for the detection of secrets that may be embedded in your code, whether they are recent or from the past. You can install Gitleaks through various methods including Homebrew, Docker, or Go, and it is also available in binary format for a wide range of operating systems on its releases page. Furthermore, Gitleaks can be easily set up as a pre-commit hook in your repository, ensuring that secrets are checked before code is finalized. This added layer of security helps maintain the integrity of your codebase while preventing potential leaks of sensitive information.

TrustInSoft commercializes a source code analyzer called TrustInSoft Analyzer, which analyzes C and C++ code and mathematically guarantees the absence of defects, immunity of software components to the most common security flaws, and compliance with a specification. The technology is recognized by U.S. federal agency the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and was the first in the world to meet NIST’s SATE V Ockham Criteria for high quality software.
The key differentiator for TrustInSoft Analyzer is its use of mathematical approaches called formal methods, which allow for an exhaustive analysis to find all the vulnerabilities or runtime errors and only raises true alarms.
Companies who use TrustInSoft Analyzer reduce their verification costs by 4, efforts in bug detection by 40, and obtain an irrefutable proof that their software is safe and secure.
The experts at TrustInSoft can also assist clients in training, support and additional services.

ZeroPath
ZeroPath (YC S24) is an AI-native application security platform that delivers comprehensive code protection beyond traditional SAST. Founded by security engineers from Tesla and Google, ZeroPath combines large language models with deep program analysis to deliver intelligent security testing that finds real vulnerabilities while dramatically reducing false positives.
Unlike traditional SAST tools that rely on pattern matching, ZeroPath understands code context, business logic, and developer intent. This enables identification of sophisticated security issues including business logic flaws, broken authentication, authorization bypasses, and complex dependency vulnerabilities.
Our comprehensive security suite covers the application security lifecycle:
1. AI-powered SAST
2. Software Composition Analysis with reachability analysis
3. Secrets detection and validation
4. Infrastructure as Code scanning
5. Automated PR reviews
6. Automated patch generation
and more...
ZeroPath integrates seamlessly with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps and many more. The platform handles codebases with millions of lines across Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, Go, Ruby, Rust, PHP, Kotlin and more.
Our research team has been successful in finding vulnerabilities like critical account takeover in better-auth (CVE-2025-61928, 300k+ weekly downloads), identifying 170+ verified bugs in curl, and discovering 0-days in production systems at Netflix, Hulu, and Salesforce.
Trusted by 750+ companies and performing 200k+ code scans monthly.
