Arnica is an application security platform that scans code, dependencies, infrastructure-as-code and secrets, and governs code written by AI coding tools. Its site calls it an agentic platform covering SAST, SCA, IaC, secrets detection, agent governance and automated remediation. It connects to source code management rather than to build pipelines.
The company says it aims for software development unimpeded by risk. Its site lists 4.9/5 on G2 and 4.6/5 on Gartner Peer Insights, says 100+ companies use it, and cites the InfoWorld 2023 Technology of the Year Award in DevOps: Security. Arnie AI is the name of its multi-agent security suite.
Arnica describes a six-step flow. Security rules are first embedded in AI coding agents such as Claude, Copilot, Cursor and Gemini. Anything those rules miss is caught by scanning at the branch level, not just the main branch. The developer then receives a private Slack or Teams message with context and a suggested fix.
Pull requests receive an automated security attestation, and unresolved issues in the backlog are re-prioritized dynamically. Developer dismissals can become policies that apply org-wide or per product once security approves them. Because it integrates with source code management, Arnica says it covers new assets without CI/CD changes.
On the scanning side, Arnica offers AI SAST that combines deterministic and AI analysis, SCA with reachability, IaC detection, hardcoded secrets detection and validation, package reputation and a searchable SBOM. Container image scanning maps images to repositories, branches and commits and highlights the latest deployed versions.
On the governance and workflow side, the Agentic Rules Enforcer applies version-controlled rules to AI coding tools, and a visibility view catalogs where AI is used. Prioritization draws on OWASP Top 10, CVSS, EPSS and KEV. Findings go to likely code owners, with merge-blocking policies and Jira or Azure DevOps Boards issue management.
Arnica is an application security platform that scans code for SAST, SCA, IaC and secrets risks and governs AI-generated code. It connects to source code management systems such as GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure DevOps. Its AI security suite is called Arnie.
Arnica has a Free plan at $0, a Business plan at $30 per identity per month ($300 per year) and an Enterprise plan at $60 per identity per month ($600 per year). Annual prepaid plans save roughly 17% versus monthly billing. Some capabilities are add-ons.
Yes. Arnica offers a forever Free plan and a 14-day trial that needs no credit card. At the end of the trial, the account moves to the Free plan with an option to upgrade.
An identity is any user or contributing entity that contributed code or had pull request activity in the last 90 days. Duplicates across orgs are removed, and groups of contributors, assets and orgs are not counted.
Arnica integrates with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure DevOps, Slack, Microsoft Teams and Google Chat, and Jira and Azure DevOps Boards. It also injects rules into Copilot, Cursor, Claude and Gemini.
No. Arnica describes its approach as pipelineless security, integrating directly into source code management. It says it covers each new asset automatically without integrating into CI/CD pipelines.
Arnica says it maintains SOC 2 Type 2 data security compliance and ISO 27001 certification. More detail is on its Security page.
Arnica suits security and development teams that want scanning and fix guidance inside the tools developers already use. It is especially relevant to organizations using AI coding assistants that need consistent rules across repositories.
