Traditional SAST scanners like Semgrep might seem like a great way to get security and configuration. When compared to Corgea, the real expenses—both financial and operational—quickly add up. Let’s break down the hidden costs and limitations of relying solely on Semgrep.

1. Missing Critical Vulnerability Detection

• Semgrep: Focus on static analysis and basic checks, but lack advanced detection for:

  • Business and code logic vulnerabilities

  • Broken authentication flows

  • API security issues

  • Malicious code insertion

• Corgea: Delivers AI-driven detection for these critical areas, identifying vulnerabilities that open-source tools overlook.

2. Time and Effort Spent on False Positives

• Semgrep: High false positive rates mean your teams spend countless hours triaging irrelevant findings, creating inefficiencies and frustration.

• Corgea: Utilizes AI-powered false positive detection, dramatically reducing noise so your team can focus on real vulnerabilities.

3. Wrestling with Ruleset

• Semgrep: Companies need to invest heavily into writing YAML rules to reduce false negatives and false positives.

• Corgea: Allows companies to write in natural language policies across repositories and programming languages to detect, triage and fix specific vulnerabilities.

3. Lack of Automation for Fixes

• Semgrep: Identifying issues is where the journey ends—you’re left to fix vulnerabilities manually.

• Corgea: Provides auto-fix capabilities, generating remediation suggestions and patches, saving time and reducing human error.

4. Weak Policy and Compliance Management

• Semgrep: No advanced policy enforcement or SLA tracking, making it hard to align with organizational security standards and compliance requirements.

• Corgea: Features tools like PolicyIQ for custom compliance policies, advanced blocking rules, and automated SLA management, ensuring consistent enforcement and tracking.

5. Lack of Analytics and Reporting

• Semgrep: Provide basic reports, often requiring manual compilation and analysis.

• Corgea: Offers advanced analytics and reporting, providing actionable insights for leadership and technical teams to measure and optimize security efforts.
