/ 1 min read
🛠️ OpenGrep Launches as a Promising Open Source Alternative to Semgrep. Following Semgrep’s controversial licensing change, the newly launched OpenGrep aims to provide a permanent open-source solution for static application security testing (SAST). Supported by a consortium of security vendors, OpenGrep seeks to unify various open-source scanners and offer essential features for free, including metadata that Semgrep has restricted. The initiative is designed to foster community involvement and create a standardized approach to security scanning, addressing the industry’s need for accessible and effective tools. As the landscape of application security evolves, OpenGrep represents a collaborative effort to enhance developer security without the constraints of corporate interests.
