Semgrep today announced its recognition as a Strong Performer in The Forrester Wave™: Agentic Development Security Tools, Q4 2026. The organization got the highest score of 5 out of 5 for different evaluation criteria. The high scores emphasize the success of Semgrep in AI application issues, secret detection, and AI triage. Moreover, according to the report, the tool provides a great developer experience.
AI-based coding tools enable faster software development in today’s world. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that the identification of any vulnerabilities is done without causing any hassle for developers. Semgrep balances these two factors using highly sophisticated agentic development security tools.
Semgrep uses a combination of conventional rule-based testing and AI reasoning to analyze vulnerability contexts. First, customized rules help detect vulnerability patterns in the source code. After that, model-based reasoning is done to analyze the complex nature of application operation and the intention of developers.
As security engineers inspect system findings, the platform learns specific enterprise requirements. Semgrep utilizes historical triage memories to automate future security reviews. As a result, security teams eliminate redundant investigations into previously analyzed code patterns.
“Security teams need to be able to trust the decisions their tools make as coding agents take on more work,” said Isaac Evans, CEO and co-founder of Semgrep. “In order to scale, teams must be able to prevent vulnerabilities from being introduced at agent-generation time, and they need their tools to learn from the decisions they’ve already made. That’s how modern security teams can keep up with the accelerated speed of shipping software.”
Customizable Code Security Accelerates Modern Developer Workflows
Engineering teams can modify vulnerability detection rules continuously as their applications evolve. Moreover, developers apply custom security policies directly within existing daily workflows. Semgrep provides a code-centric architecture that grants security engineers precise policy control. Simultaneously, the tool empowers developers to fix code issues during active agentic development cycles.
Enterprise adoption of AI coding agents continues to expand rapidly. Therefore, securing machine-generated code remains a high priority for software organizations. Semgrep’s continuous agentic development security model protects software pipelines during real-time generation.
Through the integration of rules with AI-based triage, Semgrep enhances security reviews effectively. This tool allows agentic development processes to run efficiently without slowing down software delivery processes. Moreover, security engineers have total control over custom rules.
In essence, Semgrep provides valuable intelligence in securing modern code.
