## What it is
Horusec is an open-source SAST (static application security testing) CLI that scans a project for vulnerabilities across many languages with a single command. It aggregates multiple analysis engines and integrates with CI pipelines, Docker, and a VS Code extension.

## Use cases
- scan my repo for security vulnerabilities
- run static analysis in CI pipeline
- find security flaws in Go, Python, Java, or Kotlin code
- detect vulnerabilities in Terraform files
- add SAST scanning to pull request checks
- scan codebase for leaks and insecure patterns

## When to choose
- you need multi-language SAST in one tool
- you want a CLI that drops into CI/CD easily
- you need vulnerability scanning for IaC like Terraform

## When to avoid
- you need dynamic (DAST) or runtime security testing
- you need deep language-specific analysis beyond what its bundled engines provide
- you require a GUI-only workflow

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: security, vulnerability-scanning, linter, cli, ci-cd
- domain: security, developer-tools
- platform: cli, cross-platform, go
- tags: sast, static-analysis, vulnerability-scanner, multi-language, security-scanning, devops, docker
