Semgrep provides a security scanning tool that helps software teams identify vulnerabilities in code before production. It works by analyzing code with Semgrep OSS and Pro Engine and integrates into developers’ workflows and ticketing systems for actionable insights. It reduces noise by using reachability analysis to cut false positives from open-source vulnerabilities by up to 98% and achieves fast scans—average under 5 minutes with a 10-second median CI scan. Its goal is to help engineering teams ship secure software faster by continuously finding and fixing vulnerabilities during the SDLC.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Menlo Ventures leads $100M Series D in February 2025 for AI expansion.
  • Cathy Polinsky hired as co-CTO in 2025 scales hybrid LLM engineering.
  • OpenAI program selection secures Snowflake, Figma, Dropbox customers.

What critics are saying

  • Snyk siphons SCA revenue via superior GitHub and IDE integrations.
  • GitHub Copilot free scanning commoditizes Semgrep within 18-24 months.
  • Microsoft AI investments embed security in Copilot, destroying standalone demand.

What makes Semgrep unique

  • Semgrep Multimodal combines AI reasoning and rule-based analysis for 8x more vulnerabilities.
  • Semgrep cuts false positives 98% with reachability analysis on third-party dependencies.
  • Semgrep delivers scans in under 5 minutes, median CI at 10 seconds.

Semgrep launches Multimodal, combining AI with rule-based analysis to find 8x more vulnerabilities

Semgrep has launched Semgrep Multimodal, a code security system combining AI reasoning with rule-based analysis for vulnerability detection, triage and remediation. The system finds up to eight times more true positives whilst cutting noise by 50% compared to foundation models alone, and has discovered dozens of zero-day vulnerabilities at customer sites. Built on Semgrep Workflows, the framework enables security teams to automate processes using deterministic tools and AI. Traditional rule-based scanners excel at catching known vulnerabilities but struggle with business logic flaws, whilst LLMs alone produce high false positive rates. Semgrep Multimodal addresses both dimensions by pairing precise programme analysis with LLM reasoning. Semgrep Multimodal is available today, with custom workflows accessible via private beta. Companies including Snowflake, Figma and Dropbox use Semgrep's platform.
