Semgrep for AI Agent Security: Features, Pricing, and Alternatives
Blog post from WorkOS
Semgrep is a static application security testing (SAST) platform developed by Semgrep Inc., designed to identify vulnerabilities in both human- and AI-generated code through static analysis and LLM-assisted triage, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio and focusing on real issues. It integrates seamlessly into developer workflows via CI pipelines, PR checks, and IDE support, providing code scanning and remediation suggestions tailored to different programming languages. While Semgrep excels at scanning code artifacts to ensure security in AI-generated code, it does not provide authentication, authorization, or identity management, which are essential for enterprise-grade security—functions that are effectively handled by WorkOS. WorkOS offers comprehensive authentication and authorization solutions, including SSO, MFA, and compliance features, making it an essential platform for AI agents operating within enterprise environments. Together, Semgrep and WorkOS complement each other, with Semgrep securing the code and WorkOS securing the agents themselves, thus addressing different layers of the security stack for enterprise AI systems.
