A security tool you actually want in your PR.
Findings only on the lines you touched. Drafted fix PRs you can merge without reading three CVE descriptions. IDE feedback that's correct. No security retro-blame.
What your week looks like today.
The recurring friction this role absorbs before any of it becomes someone's roadmap item.
Your PR is blocked by a Critical CVE in a transitive dep you didn't add and can't reach.
AppSec asks you to suppress 14 vulns by hand. You don't know how. They escalate.
Snyk pings you in Slack about a finding that's 4 years old in a file you've never opened.
Copilot is great until prod credentials end up in the prompt. Now Legal has questions.
Container scan blocks deploy because of a CVE in a base image you didn't pick.
Audit asks for an SBOM. You don't know what cyclonedx means and nobody will tell you.
Benefits, by use case.
Line by line — what each use case does for your specific role.
| Use case | Benefit to you | Metric |
|---|---|---|
| PR-level signal | Only findings on code paths you actually touched. No retro-blame. | 0 retro |
| Drafted fix PRs | Griffin opens the upgrade PR, tests it, you click merge. | 1 click |
| IDE feedback | Live in VS Code, Cursor, JetBrains — same engine as CI. | Live |
| Reachability triage | 'Not reachable' suppression is one line in policy, not a 14-step form. | 1 line |
| Container base image | Zero-CVE distroless variants pre-pulled, drop-in. | 0-CVE |
| Secret detection (pre-commit) | Catches the credential before you push, not after. | Pre-commit |
| Copilot / Cursor safety | Inline guardrails block prompt injection and credential exfil. | Inline |
| SBOM (per release) | Generated for you. You don't even need to know the format. | Auto |
