We use DerScanner to support our secure code review and SAST services. Its broad language support, reliable static analysis, and actionable findings help our consultants deliver consistent, high-quality security assessments. DerScanner has become a valuable part of our application security portfolio and helps us provide greater value to our customers.

Where does each platform fit: DerScanner or Snyk?

DerScanner

SAST, DAST, SCA, MAST

DeploymentSaaS, on-premises, air-gapped
SAST languages43
ScansSource code and binaries

Choose DerScanner to

  • Scan code, dependencies and web apps on servers with no route to the internet.
  • Analyze .exe, .dll, .jar, .apk and .ipa builds that arrive without source code.
  • Test ABAP, Delphi, Perl, PL/SQL, T-SQL and Solidity alongside mainstream stacks.
  • Triage findings with AI agents hosted on internal hardware.

Snyk

SAST, SCA, DAST, container, IaC

DeploymentSaaS, Local Engine for code
SAST languages20
ScansSource code, containers, IaC

Choose Snyk to

  • Surface issues inside the IDE during coding.
  • Connect cloud Git repositories and start scanning with no servers to deploy.

PUBLIC DOCS

Air-gapped scanning vs a required link to snyk.io

DerScanner runs SAST, DAST, SCA and AI triage with no outbound connection. The Snyk Code Local Engine analyzes code on internal servers and still needs HTTPS access to snyk.io for every flow.

DerScanner vs Snyk

CAPABILITY

Patch an Android app rebuilt from bytecode

DerCodeFix restores readable source from a compiled package and proposes a secure change. Developers can regenerate it to compare alternatives.

CAPABILITY

Test 43 languages, Delphi and PL/SQL included

Legacy, database and blockchain code shares one scan and one report with Java, Python and Go.

CAPABILITY

Scan builds delivered without source

Contractor releases and vendor libraries go through static analysis as compiled files.

CAPABILITY

Expose hidden functions in obfuscated code

Scans report undocumented features and inspect obfuscated fragments line by line.

CAPABILITY

Rate open source packages before adoption

Supply Chain Security weighs credibility, authorship, popularity and how fast maintainers react to issues.

CAPABILITY

Read the reasoning behind every verdict

DerTriage labels each finding and writes down why. The model runs next to the scanner, inside the perimeter.

Command injection in deploy.pl:31

TRUE POSITIVE

A value from the query string reaches system() without escaping.

Local modelNo outbound traffic
