Kiuwan Code Security vs Security Code Scan

Kiuwan Code Security is a static application security testing tool that identifies and prioritizes source-code vulnerabilities and offers remediation guidance before production. Teams can scan locally or in CI/CD, review findings in a dashboard, run pre-commit analysis, customize rules and configure quality gates to fail builds for high-severity issues. Code analysis can run in the cloud or through Kiuwan Local Analyzer on team infrastructure; results can sync to the cloud dashboard or remain on-premises. Kiuwan lists support for more than 30 languages, including Java, Python, JavaScript, C#, Go and legacy languages such as COBOL and RPG4. Listed detections include injection flaws, XSS, CSRF, broken authentication, insecure cryptography and access-control problems. Findings map to standards including OWASP Top 10, CWE/SANS Top 25, PCI DSS, NIST and ISO/IEC 25000, with compliance reports available. Integrations include Jenkins, Azure DevOps, GitLab CI, developer tools and a REST API. A free 14-day trial is offered. Professional starts at $49 per user / month, billed annually, with a 10-user minimum; Starter is listed at $124 per user / month, billed annually.

Security Code Scan is a free, open-source static analyzer for .NET projects written in C# and VB.NET. It detects vulnerability patterns such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, CSRF, and XML external entity injection, using inter-procedural taint analysis to follow input data. Projects can be analyzed in the background through IntelliSense or during a build. For delivery workflows, it supports GitHub and GitLab pipelines, MSBuild, and a stand-alone runner; custom integrations can emit SARIF results and place warnings alongside other build messages. Users can define taint sources, sinks, sanitizers, validators, and project-specific settings. The analyzer supports Visual Studio 2019 or higher, while the project says other Roslyn analyzer editors such as Rider or OmniSharp should work. Releases are available as a NuGet package, Visual Studio extension, and stand-alone runner for Windows and Linux. The maker warns that the extension or NuGet package can slow the IDE and recommends CI/CD pipelines as the more common use case. Audit mode is off by default. The repository identifies an LGPL-3.0 license.
