Comparison

LyraShield AI vs Corgea

How LyraShield AI compares to Corgea for LLM-core SAST and auto-fix. Evidence states, retest workflows, coverage framework and approval-gated fix differences.

Last reviewed:

Factual comparison. Corgea is an AI-native application security platform spanning AI SAST, SCA, secrets detection, IaC, container scanning and a multi-agent AI pentest, delivering review-ready fix PRs. LyraShield AI is release assurance for AI-built apps — it keeps detected candidates and retest outcomes distinct in scoped evidence reports, with fixes gated behind approvals. The two overlap on pentest, SCA and secrets; neither fully replaces the other.

Where we differ

  • A launch verdict in three states: ready, not ready or insufficient evidence.
  • Every finding keeps its evidence state, and a fresh retest confirms a fix.
  • Fix proposals wait for a human approval before any pull request opens.

Core approach

Aspect LyraShield AI Corgea
Primary focus Evidence-backed release assurance for AI-built apps AI-native AppSec platform (SAST, SCA, secrets, IaC, containers) plus AI pentest
Scanning approach Agentic engine, coverage framework, evidence states LLMs combined with static analysis; business-logic detection (“BLAST”)
Finding lifecycle Detected → retest-confirmed or inconclusive Found → reachability prioritized → fix PR opened; pentest auto-retest loop
Control framework Vibe Security 50 (43 code/URL review + 7 evidence-required) No published control framework; endpoint-aware reachability
Fix model Recorded fix proposals; Fix PR requests need permission and a server-generated patch Fix PRs opened into normal developer review; fixes statically validated before PR
AI-generated code focus Built for AI-built apps; scans agent rules, agent instruction files and AI patterns Security design reviews of PRD/architecture docs before code is written

Capability comparison

Capability LyraShield AI Corgea
Static analysis (SAST) Via engine Yes (BLAST — business logic, auth, injection)
Custom rules Not a primary feature Custom and blocking rules (Scale tier)
SCA (dependency scanning) Yes Yes (reachability-aware, dead-package analysis)
Secret scanning Yes (engine + GitHub Action) Yes (detection; no shipped rotation feature)
Agentic pentest Yes (core) Yes (multi-agent, ~4–8 hr, exploitability validation, auditor-ready reports)
Evidence states Three shipped states; VERIFIED is future-only and not produced today No documented evidence-state model
Deterministic retest Yes Pentest continuous retesting loop
Coverage receipts Yes (per-control) No documented equivalent
Assurance reports Yes (checksum-bound snapshots) Auditor-ready pentest reports (SOC 2 / ISO 27001)
Reviewed fix proposals Fix PR requests require permission and a server-generated patch Standard PR review; no formal approval gate
MCP server integration Yes (documented MCP client workflows) Agent integrations for AI coding tools
Security design review Not a primary feature Yes (pre-code PRD/architecture review)
IDE integration Via MCP VS Code, Cursor, Visual Studio, IntelliJ

  • You need coverage receipts mapping to a control framework
  • You want detected candidates and retest outcomes clearly distinguished

Use Corgea when

  • You want one platform spanning SAST, SCA, secrets, IaC, containers and AI pentest
  • You need business-logic and auth-flaw detection with review-ready fix PRs
  • You want pre-code security design reviews of PRD/architecture documents

Where Corgea is genuinely strong

Corgea is built around the idea that a scanner should adapt to your codebase. Its Auto-Discovery and Learning announcement describes how it studies the code before scanning: it detects frameworks, languages and architecture, identifies existing security controls such as auth decorators and ORM usage and generates project-specific false-positive and fix policies. Its Learning feature turns developer feedback into approved policies over time, grouped by project, CWE and language.

Its AI Pentesting announcement describes a multi-agent architecture where coordinator agents assign specialised sub-agents such as an auth discovery agent or an API exploration agent. The same page says the agents validate exploitability during the test, confirming a finding can be triggered, capturing evidence and explaining business impact. The same page says the platform supports continuous retesting after remediation.

Its Security Design Reviews announcement describes catching design-level threats at the PRD stage, including the example of a vendor payout API design that lacked an authorization check linking the authenticated user to the vendor they were paying. The security page describes issuing pull requests with fixes for engineering approval.

Frequently asked questions

Does LyraShield replace Corgea?
No. Corgea is an AI-native AppSec platform spanning AI SAST with BLAST for business-logic detection, SCA with reachability and dead-package analysis, secrets, IaC, containers, plus pre-code PRD security design reviews and a multi-agent AI pentest. LyraShield in open beta is a focused release assurance loop with a checksum-bound evidence record and reviewed fix proposals.
Can I use Corgea and LyraShield together?
Yes. Use Corgea for continuous AI SAST, dependency reachability and fast auditor-ready pentest reports, with current commercial terms confirmed directly with the vendor. Add LyraShield for the evidence-backed release gate where fixes are blocked until a server-bound approval and retest confirms closure.
When should I choose Corgea over LyraShield?
Choose Corgea when you want one vendor for code plus compliance pentests, business-logic testing and review-ready fix PRs with IDE plugins for VS Code, Cursor and IntelliJ. Its pre-code design review is a genuine differentiator. Choose LyraShield when you need coverage receipts per control, explicit evidence states and a checksum-bound assurance record for AI-built app releases.
