What it is
Scantist provides application security, software supply chain risk management, and security tools for AI agents and LLM-powered products. Its AppDefender scans code, dependencies, and infrastructure-as-code for flaws, vulnerable components, and cloud misconfigurations. It also checks dependencies and binaries for software bill of materials visibility and open-source license controls. PAIStrike uses autonomous AI agents to find and validate vulnerabilities, attempt exploitation, and provide proof of exploit; its reconnaissance gathers information about domains, endpoints, public resources, and technology fingerprints. AIDefender reviews prompts and responses while AI products run, with options to block, redact, or flag risks such as prompt injection and data leaks. AppDefender lists integrations with Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and GitLab, and paid plans include an IDE plugin. The free plan costs nothing and allows one user, five projects, uploads up to 10MB, 20 monthly scans, and seven-day retention. Scantist offers web, API, and self-hosted platforms, and supports Java, JavaScript, Perl, Go, Python, C#, C/C++, Ruby, PHP, Objective-C, and Swift.
