Head-to-Head Comparison
CNAPP Extended into Code — CNAPP/cloud-security platform extended into code via ASPM; strong code-to-cloud graph correlation with rule-based native SAST (Public Preview since Dec 2025) and AI/agentic remediation layered on top
| Capability | DryRun Security | Wiz Code | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Detection Categories1 | |||
| What this tool covers | ℹ SAST, PR Reviews, SCA, Secrets, IaC. |
ℹ SAST (Public Preview since Dec 2025), SCA, Secrets, IaC (1,000+ rules), Container, DSPM-in-code, Malware. Ingests third-party DAST via ASPM. |
— |
| AI & Intelligence9 | |||
| AI-Native Architecture | ✓ Built AI-native in 2023. Model-independent verification layer. Uses a fleet of specialized agents (Code Review, DeepScan, Custom Policy, Codebase Insight) rather than one general model. |
✗ Core detection is rule/pattern-based ("thousands of curated rules"); AI is a triage and remediation layer bolted on, not an AI-native code-analysis engine. |
DryRun leads |
| Agentic / Multi-Agent System | ✓ Code Review Agent, Custom Policy Agent, DeepScan Agent, Codebase Insight Agent + specialized sub-agents; AGENTS.md support (Linux Foundation) |
~ Discrete agents (SAST triage agent, Green Agent for remediation, Red Agent for offensive testing); no orchestrated multi-agent code-review pipeline described. |
DryRun leads |
| Natural Language Policies | ✓ Natural Language Code Policies (NLCP); Policy Library with 16+ pre-built policies; Custom Policy Agent enforces on every PR |
✗ Unified policy engine is platform/UI-driven; plain-language interaction exists only via the MCP server for querying, not for policy authoring. |
DryRun leads |
| Model-Independent Verification | ✓ Separates code generation from code verification; works regardless of which AI model or human generates code |
✗ No model-independent verification layer described; AI features are triage and remediation outputs, not verified findings. |
DryRun leads |
| Code Security Knowledge Graph | ✓ Accumulates organizational knowledge across PRs; cross-repo intelligence; learns risk tolerance from dismissal patterns (nitpicks, FPs, accepted risks); FP fingerprinting improves decision quality over time |
~ Relies on the cloud Security Graph enriched with code-to-cloud tracing (source → CI → registry → image); no separate code-semantic knowledge graph. |
DryRun leads |
| Cross-repo Analysis | ✓ Accumulates security knowledge across all repos in an org for org-wide pattern detection. |
✗ No cross-repository code analysis stated; correlation happens at the cloud-asset level in the Security Graph, not across code repositories. |
DryRun leads |
| Code Security Memory | ✓ Persistent memory of FP fingerprints, dismissed findings, and accepted risk decisions across reviews. |
✗ No code-security memory concept; Green Agent uses historical remediation patterns but this is not stated as a memory feature. |
DryRun leads |
| Custom DryRun Cyber Models | ✓ Purpose-built models trained for code security, not general-purpose foundation models. |
✗ Not available |
DryRun leads |
| Multi-model Architecture | ✓ Routes each task to the best-fit model rather than relying on a single LLM. |
✗ No public statement of a multi-model architecture; underlying models for AI features are not disclosed. |
DryRun leads |
| AI Coding Agent Security6 | |||
| Securing AI-Generated Code | ✓ Reviews every PR regardless of who whether the author was human or AI, DryRun is especially effective at identifying the types of flaws AI coding tools are prone to create. |
✓ Real-time scanning and fixing of AI-generated code inside AI-native IDEs via plugins/skills, secure-rules-files for Claude/Cursor/Copilot, and block mode at file save / pre-commit / pre-push. |
Tie |
| AI Coding Visibility / Observability | ✓ Code Insights with AI Assistance (beta): NL queries for risk, trends, exposure; org-wide visibility; per-repo drill-down; file-level security history |
✓ AI-BOM auto-inventories AI coding tools across the org (LangChain, Gemini Code Assist, Copilot, Cursor). |
Tie |
| Malicious AI Agent Skill Detection | ✓ Policy Library includes Malicious AI Agent Skills Detection: flags skills/plugins that could enable data theft, backdoors, or code execution |
✗ No specific detection of malicious AI-agent skills; closest capability is general malware scanning in the codebase. |
DryRun leads |
| MCP Integration | ✓ DryRun Insights MCP server: security summaries, PR analysis, trend monitoring, file-level history; connects via Direct HTTP, Claude Shortcuts, or mcp-remote |
✓ Wiz MCP Server (GA) translates plain-language queries into Wiz Code workflows, from issue discovery to pull-request creation. Listed on AWS Marketplace. |
Tie |
| Continuous Enforcement Layer | ✓ Runs on every PR automatically. Policies enforced at the merge gate. Always on — not invoked per-task. |
~ Unified policy engine with developer guardrails (e.g., "zero critical issues in production") and CI/CD block mode across the SDLC; enforcement is one layer inside the broader CNAPP. |
DryRun leads |
| Per-Review Economics (predictable vs. usage-metered) | ✓ Flat subscription pricing based on team size. Usage pricing applies to DeepScan product. |
✗ Sold as annual code-license SKU (AWS Marketplace lists ~$58,500 for 100 code licenses / 12 months); no per-review or per-PR pricing. |
DryRun leads |
| Code Security Intelligence3 | |||
| Business Logic Flaw Detection | ✓ Covers all logic flaws, BOLA, IDOR, broken auth, multi-tenant isolation, mass assignment, privilege escalation, OAuth, WebSocket auth bypass, and more. See docs.dryrun.security for more. |
✗ No product claim of business-logic flaw detection; findings are CWE- and rule-based with cloud-context prioritization. |
DryRun leads |
| Git Behavioral Analysis | ✓ Git Behavioral Graphs: code churn, temporal coupling, knowledge decay, temporal anomalies, intent mining |
✗ Not available |
DryRun leads |
| Continuous Baseline & Risk Trending | ✓ Risk Register with Critical/High/Medium/Low severity; AI Assistance for Insights with NL queries, trend monitoring, and 30-day window analysis |
~ Continuous workload observation and remediation tracking via the Security Graph; no explicitly named code-specific baseline or trending feature. |
DryRun leads |
| Workflow & Supply Chain2 | |||
| SCM Support | ✓ GitHub and GitLab (native apps with OAuth) |
~ GitHub and GitLab confirmed (VCS connectors, CIS for GitHub/GitLab); Bitbucket and Azure DevOps not confirmed on product pages. |
DryRun leads |
| SBOM / AI-BOM Generation | ✓ DeepScan generates SBOM with SCA agent providing dependency inventory and license checking (Dependency License Check policy). Plus AI-BOM and runtime context — not just a static dependency graph. |
✓ SBOM via SCA and AI-BOM covering AI-tool usage inventory across the org. |
Tie |
| Reporting & Compliance1 | |||
| Compliance Framework Mapping (SOC 2, PCI, NIST, OWASP, MISRA, STIG) | ~ Findings tagged with OWASP Top 10 and CWE. Dedicated SOC 2 / PCI / STIG report templates are on the roadmap, not shipped. |
~ Code findings map to OWASP ASVS, NIST SSDF, CIS Controls, OWASP Top 10 CI/CD, OpenSSF; platform-wide 300+ frameworks including SOC 2, PCI, NIST, HIPAA, FedRAMP. MISRA and STIG not confirmed. |

| Notable G2 Praise (Attributed) | ℹ "DryRun goes far beyond what rule-based SAST tools offer. It catches things other tools completely miss — like middleware that's defined but never mounted, or trust boundary misalignments." — Jabez A., Director, Product Security Architecture, Enterprise (g2.com/products/dryrun-security/reviews) |
ℹ No dedicated Wiz Code G2 reviews. PeerSpot: "…appreciating its fast, accurate vulnerability detection. It integrates well into workflows." — Cyber Security Consultant, Enterprise (peerspot.com/products/wiz-code-reviews) |

| Common G2 Complaint Themes | ℹ UI/portal speed; desire for more analyzer customization (g2.com/products/dryrun-security/reviews) |
ℹ CVSS/severity-weighted findings without business-impact context; false-positive volume at scale (platform-wide); unclear ROI for the code product; high cost for smaller teams (peerspot.com/products/wiz-code-reviews) |
