When to use which

Use LyraShield AI when

• Your app is AI-built and you need AI-specific pattern coverage and a release-gate assurance record
• You need checksum-bound assurance reports with coverage receipts for compliance or client handoff
• You want reviewable fix proposals and a separate permission gate for Fix PR requests
• You want security checks inside your AI coding agent via MCP
• You need SCA + secrets + agentic pentest in one release-assurance loop

Use RunSybil when

• You want black-box-first offensive testing that reasons like an attacker without needing source code
• Your priority is continuous, hypothesis-driven exploit validation across code, APIs, cloud and infrastructure
• You need multi-tenant and business-logic testing (cross-tenant access, privilege escalation, transaction manipulation)
• You want PR-level security feedback on every deployment, replacing point-in-time pentests and bug bounties
• You want a CTEM Phase 4 (Validation) engine that proves what your other tools found is actually exploitable

Where RunSybil is genuinely strong

Its core value is black-box, no-source-code offensive testing that reasons like an attacker. Its blog on automating hacker intuition says Sybil operates outside-in, crawling the application to map the attack surface, developing hypotheses about function and purpose and testing them continuously. Its home page says it maps the stack, chains vulnerabilities across layers and re-evaluates on every deployment.

It is multi-agent and deployment aware. An independent review on AppSecSanta describes a Discovery Agent that maps the surface, an Attack Agent that validates findings and login agents for authenticated exploration, with the agents learning about the target as they go.

RunSybil positions itself apart from code review assistants because it interacts with the running system rather than reading source. It chains an application flaw into an infrastructure entry point, which is ground a single-layer scanner misses. For a team that wants continuous black-box offensive testing across a full stack, RunSybil is a credible choice.
