Product Description

GuardRails empowers developers to find, fix, and prevent security vulnerabilities in their web and mobile applications.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

We make security teams' lives better by making developers' work easier.

GuardRails' key differentiators are:

- Faster, easier integration: We embed seamlessly within your Version Control System and 22 languages. GuardRails covers new and existing repositories within seconds.

- Developer-friendly training: Just-In-Time Training provides your devs with real-time guidance plus remediation for the detected error. This allows them to fix security issues right away, from within their workflow, in their language, while learning how to avoid the same issue in the future.

- All security in a single dashboard: We take the single pane of glass approach by consolidating all your vital SAST, DAST, SCA, IaC, and Secret Detection into one single customizable dashboard.

- Customizable AppSec: On-premise or cloud, you can create your own rules and turn them on or off as you see fit, meaning less noise, fewer false positives/negatives, and higher accuracy.

What do you like best about GuardRails?

GuardRails was so easy to inject into our code workflow on GitHub. The checks run very quick and catch useful security flaws that can easily be actionable. Since it is implemented as a check in GitHub you can specify that any security findings must be corrected before the commit can move any further which is also a great security practice.

There is also a dashboard of all of the flaws that are currently in the codebase that can then be remediated and there is a very fun message that is added to Pull Requests that do fix them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GuardRails?

Within the dashboard the links to the files seem to not work most of the time. There is also not an easy way that I can see to flag issues found and not applicable or incorrect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GuardRails solving and how is that benefiting you?

Static Security analysis of code. Increasing security awareness within the team and ensuring safety of our users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
