100-word summary

Endor Labs just launched a free tool that catches what your AI coding assistant misses.

That gap explains why security scanners flag everything and block pull requests by the thousands. AURI cuts security alert noise by 95% by mapping how your code, dependencies, and containers actually connect. One team saw security tickets drop 10x per month and blocked PRs fall 83%. It runs locally in VS Code and Cursor, so your code never leaves your machine. The tool already caught seven zero-day bugs...

Why it matters

Your AI assistant is writing faster than your security team can review.
