Evaluate Oryon alongside GitHub Code Security
Keep analysis alongside your code: local detection, help understanding the risk and shared results from the editor to CI and the platform.
Why choose Oryon
-
Analysis starts on your machine.
Local SAST, code, dependencies and configuration in your editor workflow. You control connected features and AI assistance, according to your plan.
-
From the editor to every delivery.
The engine ships with the extension. Connect code analysis, dependencies and CI integrations with your team's platform in one workflow.
-
One review the whole team can reuse.
Shared suppressions, history, scan comparisons, CSV exports and PDF reports. Detection becomes ongoing work your team can track.
Capabilities, side by side.
| What you need | GitHub Code Security | |
|---|---|---|
| Editor integration | Documented Scan as you edit or save, or start a file or repository scan; configure profiles and exclusions. | Documented CodeQL for VS Code queries databases; a database must be created or imported. ↗ |
| Static code analysis | Documented Static analysis of code, secrets, infrastructure, pipelines and AI/MCP security. Combines patterns with data tracking within each file. Profiles and exclusions adapt the scan to the repository. | Documented CodeQL queries and data-flow analysis. ↗ |
| Dependencies | Documented Extends the inventory of packages and their relationships from the repository, including Maven projects. Automatically attempted in the extension and CI; native analyzers provide a fallback when it is unavailable. | Documented Dependabot and dependency review; scope depends on repository and license. ↗ |
| Secrets | Documented Static analysis of code, secrets, infrastructure, pipelines and AI/MCP security. Combines patterns with data tracking within each file. Profiles and exclusions adapt the scan to the repository. | Another suite product GitHub Secret Protection; also available for eligible public repositories. ↗ |
| CI integration | Documented Run the same analysis core from GitHub Actions and Azure Pipelines, with OIDC and a project token. | Documented GitHub Actions, CLI and external CI with SARIF upload. ↗ |
| AI-assisted fixes | Optional / plan dependent Explains causes, risk and impact and proposes changes, diffs, effort and verification checks. Available according to plan and configuration; the user reviews and applies the proposal in the editor. | Documented Copilot Autofix for supported queries; no separate Copilot subscription required. ↗ |
| SAST without SaaS code upload | Documented OpenGrep bundled with the extension; local SAST works offline once the engine is extracted. AI and sync use the network. | Documented CodeQL CLI analyzes locally; publishing results to GitHub is a separate step. ↗ |
| Infrastructure & configuration | Documented Rules for Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD and configuration; coverage depends on format and rule. | Engine integration Code scanning accepts external analyzers through SARIF; this is not a complete native CodeQL IaC catalog. ↗ |
| Profiles & exclusions | Documented production_security/full profiles, path inclusion and exclusion, and .gitignore support. | Documented Custom CodeQL queries and analysis-suite selection. ↗ |
| Selective MDN compatibility | Documented Selective MDN assessment: String.replaceAll against configured browsers. Other warnings require validation; this is not a general browser compatibility audit. | Not documented in this scope No MDN compatibility assessment documented in CodeQL. ↗ |
| Shared triage decisions | Documented Project-level shared false-positive suppressions, with restoration from the extension and dashboard. | Documented Repository-level shared alerts with dismissal, reopening and permissions. ↗ |
| History & reporting | Documented History, comparisons, audit PDF and JSON/CSV exports. The advanced AI report depends on the plan. | Documented Central security alerts; the CLI produces SARIF. ↗ |
