Key Features

CodeQL (GitHub)

  • • Free code scanning for public repositories on GitHub dot com
  • • Advanced Security brings enterprise features for private repos
  • • Declarative query language to model flows and data dependencies
  • • Extensive query packs and libraries maintained by community
  • • CI integrations with SARIF outputs for routing and dashboards
  • • Variant analysis to find bug families across services

Darktrace

  • • Self learning behavioral modeling across network cloud email and OT with baselines that adapt to seasonality and business context
  • • Autonomous response that interrupts suspicious sessions surgically while preserving legitimate traffic to minimize business disruption
  • • End to end visibility that correlates signals across sensors to reconstruct incidents and surface root cause without manual stitching
  • • Explainable decisions with analyst friendly context that shows entities timelines and confidence so teams can verify actions quickly
  • • Hybrid coverage with sensors and cloud connectors that protect SaaS mail and remote users without deep network redesign
  • • Governance friendly operations with audit logs role controls and integrations for SIEM SOAR case systems and MDR partners

Use Cases

CodeQL (GitHub)

  • → Gate pull requests with code scanning before merge
  • → Build organization rulepacks based on past incidents
  • → Run variant analysis to remove whole bug classes at once
  • → Export SARIF to SIEM and dashboards for leadership views
  • → Educate developers with precise fix examples in checks
  • → Schedule repo wide scans to catch drift and regressions

Darktrace

  • → Stop data exfiltration by throttling unusual transfers during off hours while analysts verify context
  • → Contain suspected account takeover by limiting risky actions until users reauthenticate and reset credentials
  • → Detect lateral movement by correlating rare service to service authentications across segmentation zones
  • → Spot business email compromise by modeling sender behavior and unusual financial requests before funds are moved
  • → Protect OT networks by learning normal PLC and HMI patterns then flagging deviations without brittle rules
  • → Accelerate incident investigations by replaying correlated timelines that show first cause and affected entities
