Frequently Asked Questions

ZeroPath is the first AI-native platform for detecting, prioritizing, and resolving code security issues. It's a replacement for your SAST, SCA, and Secrets detection products, and features the world's most advanced code scanning engine ever built.

Almost all SAST offerings (including "AI-enabled" platforms) essentially detect bugs the same way: by tracing program inputs (from network events, filesystem) and seeing if they flow into vulnerable functions. This is accomplished by combining a large, user-maintained repository of 'rules' with an engine that statically analyzes control flows. For massive, diverse codebases, the simple "blacklist" nature of these rules results in both false positives and missed vulnerabilities.

ZeroPath is a part of a new class of AppSec tools sometimes called "AI-native". Instead of scanning your code with a myriad of static analysis tricks, we've built a platform from the ground up with LLMs. Our language models scan your code for problems like a pentester would, investigating each potential issue for exploitability in real-world conditions.

On a benchmark based on one released by Xbow, the most recent version of ZeroPath (as of July 2, 2025) scored an 80% True Positive Rate on technical vulnerabilities, compared to a 40% and 54% score for Snyk and Semgrep respectively. ZeroPath's false positive rate was 16%, compared to Snyk and Semgrep's false positive rates of 35% and 50%.

For the business logic vulnerabilities, Snyk and Semgrep reported 0 and 1 out of 8 vulnerabilities, respectively, compared to ZeroPath's 7 of 8.

Unofficially, the nature of LLMs means that ZeroPath often works out-of-the-box for many other languages! Please contact us if you have specific needs or questions.
