SentrAI vs the tools
already in your pipeline.

Application security scanners find vulnerabilities. AI reviewers make suggestions. Neither answers the question your board is asking: who let AI touch this code, under what policy, and can you prove it? That's the seam SentrAI owns.

Merge-time enforcement for AI-authored code
Required GitHub Check that fails the PR when policy is violated — not an advisory dashboard.

01 · Different layer
Not another scanner

Keep GHAS, Snyk, or Semgrep for CVEs and pattern-based bugs. SentrAI is the governance layer above them — who wrote it, was it AI, was it allowed.

02 · Different buyer
CISO, not the linter tab

Scanners live inside eng. SentrAI produces the evidence a security-review committee can sign — mapped to their controls, not yours.

03 · Different proof
Third-party verifiable

No competitor publishes Ed25519-signed decisions under the org's own key. A regulator can verify a SentrAI proof without logging in.

Comparisons reflect each product's publicly documented capabilities as of 2026. Trademarks belong to their owners. Every claim above is enforced in the SentrAI codebase — inspect the tamper-evident chain live on any proof page.
