Bearer

Bearer is a developer-first static application security testing (SAST) platform whose open-source CLI (written in Go, Elastic License 2.0) scans source code and analyzes data flows to discover, filter, and prioritize security and privacy risks. It detects OWASP Top 10 and CWE Top 25 vulnerabilities, tracks sensitive data (PII/PHI) across a codebase, and produces GDPR / DPIA / PIA privacy reports. Bearer supports Go, Python, PHP, JavaScript, TypeScript, Ruby, and Java, and integrates into CI/CD via SARIF, GitLab SAST, and reviewdog output formats. The company's commercial platform was acquired by Cycode in 2024; the Bearer CLI remains open source. Bearer surfaced in the API Evangelist network as a portfolio company of Partech and Point Nine and has been enriched from its public docs, GitHub org, and live domain probes.

Bearer is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Infrastructure Saas, Application Security, Static Analysis, and SAST.

Bearer’s developer surface includes documentation, quickstart, API reference, engineering blog, CLI, changelog, and 10 more developer resources.
