Does Oryon work only in VS Code?

The current product surface is built around the VS Code extension model, which is why it also maps well to compatible forks such as Cursor.

Does the scanner upload our source code by default?

No. Code and dependency analysis run locally in the editor. Dashboard sync happens when a repository is linked, and the cloud is not treated as the default scanner.

Why not just keep security in CI?

CI is still useful, but editor-first security helps teams catch more issues while the code is still cheap to change and before noisy findings pile up downstream.

Editor-first security

A Security Layer for Cursor Teams That Want Early Signal Without Leaving the Editor

Oryon brings local-first code and dependency analysis to Cursor-compatible workflows, keeps noise under control with conservative triage, and only syncs team memory when the repository is linked.

Cursor Security Extension

Why teams specifically look for security inside Cursor

Runs local code and dependency analysis in a VS Code-compatible extension model that fits Cursor-style workflows.

Your engineering workflow lives in Cursor or other VS Code-compatible editors.
You care more about early signal, privacy, and review trust than about a giant platform surface.
You want shared suppressions and dashboard continuity once a repository becomes team-wide.

Search intent

Why teams specifically look for security inside Cursor

What they are usually trying to fix

Security feedback arrives too late, once the code has already moved into review or CI.
Developers work inside Cursor all day and ignore tools that live elsewhere.
The team wants code and dependency analysis without defaulting to a cloud-first scanning model.

How it works

From Cursor session to shared team state

Scan where the code is changing

Inside the editor

The extension analyzes code as the team edits or on-demand across the workspace, so the first review loop starts where engineers already work.

Why it matters

The closer the signal is to the edit, the less often security becomes a late-stage handoff.

Keep the noisy findings under control

Inside the editor

Oryon drops harmless baseline noise with heuristics first, then only removes a finding if both AI passes agree to drop it.

Why it matters

That operating model preserves trust better than workflows that silently over-filter.

Link the repository when team memory matters

Inside the editor

Once a repository is linked, findings, dependency vulnerabilities, suppressions, and scan history can be synced to the dashboard.

Why it matters

That gives the team continuity across developers and future scans without making the cloud the scanner.

Choose Oryon if

Your engineering workflow lives in Cursor or other VS Code-compatible editors.
You care more about early signal, privacy, and review trust than about a giant platform surface.
You want shared suppressions and dashboard continuity once a repository becomes team-wide.

Choose something broader if

The editor is secondary and most of the security program is organized around a central platform.
Your team needs the broadest possible AppSec surface more than an editor-first operating model.
You are optimizing for policy administration before developer adoption inside the editor.
