Fluid Attacks review
A broad AppSec platform for teams that need SAST plus wider security coverage.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Fluid Attacks is an application security platform for development and security teams that need more than source-code scanning alone. Its coverage includes static application security testing, software composition analysis, dynamic and mobile testing, cloud posture assessment, secrets scanning, infrastructure-as-code analysis, and vulnerability management. The platform also supports pull-request and merge-request analysis, CI/CD scanners, IDE extensions, AI-generated remediation guides, and autofix suggestions. It is best suited to organizations seeking a broad AppSec program across web and API work rather than a narrowly focused SAST tool.
Pricing is organized around Essential and Advanced plans, with a 21-day trial available. Essential includes continuous automated SAST, SCA, DAST, MAST, CSPM, and secret scanning, along with risk-based vulnerability management, GenAI-assisted remediation, and CI Gate deployment controls. Advanced includes everything in Essential plus PTaaS, secure code review, reverse engineering, and pentester assistance. Pricing is handled through sales, making the platform a better fit for teams prepared to evaluate a broader security service rather than buyers seeking a self-serve product.
Its ecosystem coverage is a practical strength for development workflows. Fluid Attacks integrates with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, GitLab, Azure DevOps, Bitbucket Pipelines, Jenkins, Jira Cloud, and MCP, while IDE support covers Visual Studio Code, Cursor, and IntelliJ IDEA. CI Gates can block policy-breaking changes, and the platform provides API access for vulnerability management. The trade-off is breadth: teams wanting only lightweight SAST, a free plan, or custom rules may prefer a more focused alternative. Teams that value combined automated scanning and expert testing should consider Fluid Attacks, especially the Advanced plan.
