About
Gecko Security is an AI-native application security scanning platform designed to find the vulnerabilities that matter most — business logic flaws and multi-step attack chains that pattern-matching tools consistently miss. Rather than relying on brittle AST parsing, Gecko builds a compiler-accurate semantic graph of your codebase, linking together context from code, infrastructure, and documentation to trace data flows and trust boundaries. Gecko performs full threat modelling at scale across every service and release cycle. Its natural language rules engine lets security teams write policies the way they think about them, and Gecko applies them automatically across code, dependencies, and connected environments. Contextual scanning across multiple repositories and microservices surfaces vulnerabilities that only appear at trust boundaries — a critical capability for modern distributed architectures. The platform integrates natively into CI/CD pipelines, providing automatic PR/MR reviews, one-click autofix suggestions, and intelligent prioritization so developers resolve issues without context-switching. Gecko learns from team feedback over time, continuously improving detection accuracy. With SOC 2 compliance, support for private AI models, and self-hosted deployment options, Gecko is built for security-conscious enterprises that cannot afford to expose source code or vulnerability data. It serves teams ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies, with flexible pricing that scales from a free tier to fully custom enterprise contracts.
Key Features
- Semantic Code Analysis: Builds a compiler-accurate semantic graph of your entire codebase using language server protocol-style name bindings, enabling precise detection of multi-step vulnerabilities in both statically and dynamically typed languages.
- Business Logic & Attack Path Detection: Goes beyond pattern matching to map full attack paths, logic flaws, and cross-service risks — surfacing the exploitable vulnerabilities that keep CISOs up at night.
- Natural Language Security Rules: Write security policies in plain English and Gecko automatically applies them across your code, dependencies, and connected environment throughout the development lifecycle.
- CI/CD Pipeline Integration: Integrates directly into your pipeline with automated PR/MR reviews, one-click autofix suggestions, and intelligent prioritization so developers never leave their workflow to resolve issues.
- Contextual Multi-Repo Scanning: Scans across multiple repositories and microservices simultaneously, finding vulnerabilities that only surface at trust boundaries between services — a critical capability for distributed architectures.
Use Cases
- Security engineers scanning application codebases before production releases to catch exploitable business logic flaws and multi-step attack chains invisible to traditional SAST tools.
- DevOps and platform teams embedding automated security reviews directly into CI/CD pipelines so developers receive actionable fix guidance within their existing pull request workflow.
- CISOs at enterprises and high-growth startups seeking a low-noise, high-signal security scanning solution that scales across complex microservice architectures.
- Development teams working across multiple repositories who need cross-service vulnerability detection that surfaces issues arising at trust boundaries between services.
- Security-conscious organizations requiring SOC 2-compliant scanning with on-premises or private cloud deployment to ensure source code never leaves their controlled environment.
Pros
- Drastically Fewer False Positives: Gecko delivers 90% fewer false positives and 8x more true positives compared to traditional SAST tools, reducing alert fatigue and letting teams focus on real threats.
- Fast Remediation: With an average time-to-remediation of 1 hour, one-click autofix, and in-pipeline feedback, developers resolve security issues quickly without context switching.
- Enterprise-Grade Compliance & Privacy: SOC 2 compliant with support for private AI models, on-premises deployment, and self-hosted options — ensuring source code and vulnerability data stay under your control.
- Improves Over Time: Gecko learns from team feedback to continuously sharpen accuracy, making findings more actionable the longer it is used within your environment.
Cons
- Free Tier Is Heavily Limited: The free plan is capped at only 10 scans, which may not be sufficient for active development teams evaluating the tool beyond a brief trial.
- Enterprise Requires Annual Billing: Unlimited scanning, SSO/SAML, and self-hosted deployments are locked behind the Enterprise tier, which requires annual billing only — no monthly option available.
- Newer Platform: As a relatively new entrant in the security scanning space, Gecko may have a smaller ecosystem of community resources and integrations compared to long-established SAST tools.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Gecko Security work?
Gecko uses an AI-native engine to build a semantic understanding of your application by linking context from your code, infrastructure, and documentation. It traces data flows and trust boundaries, then threat-models targeted attack scenarios to surface multi-step and business logic vulnerabilities that pattern-matching tools overlook.
How is Gecko different from traditional SAST tools?
Rather than using brittle AST parsing or call graph analysis, Gecko relies on semantic name bindings similar to a language server protocol. This gives it a true understanding of code meaning, making it more accurate for microservice architectures and dynamically typed languages — resulting in ~20% false positive rate versus industry-typical rates of 70%+.
Is Gecko Security SOC 2 compliant?
Yes. Gecko is built for security-conscious enterprises and supports private AI models and self-hosted deployments, ensuring that your source code and vulnerability data remain completely under your control.
What integrations does Gecko support?
Gecko integrates natively with CI/CD pipelines for PR/MR bot reviews, and on the Pro and Enterprise plans it connects with Jira, Linear, and Slack. An open API is also available for custom integrations.
What pricing plans does Gecko offer?
Gecko offers three tiers: Free ($0, 10 scans with CI/CD integration and AI SAST PR reviews), Pro ($100/month for 100 scans, team management up to 5 members, APIs, and Jira/Linear/Slack integrations), and Enterprise (custom annual pricing with unlimited scanning, SSO/SAML, on-prem/private cloud, and dedicated account management).
