PLATFORM & POSTURE
Platform Positioning
Unified CNAPP + ASPM + AI Security platform. Covers AppSec, CloudSec, Runtime Security, API Security, K8s Security, and AI-SPM in one architecture. Ref: CNAPP Overview
DAST-first AppSec platform with ASPM added via Kondukto acquisition (Aug 2025). No cloud infrastructure, runtime workload, or K8s security.
ASPM Coverage
Unified ASPM integrating native SAST, DAST, SCA, IaC, container Scan, Secrets Scan, with code-to runtime risk correlation. Ref: ASPM Overview
Normalizes, deduplicates, and correlates findings across SAST, SCA, DAST, container, IaC, and secrets tools. ASPM via Kondukto aggregating 110+ third-party tools.
AI SAST
Native AI-accelerated SAST engine with built-in rule sets. AI-powered post-scan enrichment for false positive identification, severity assessment, and actionable summaries. "Ask AI" remediation on individual or batch findings. Also ingests Checkmarx One, SonarQube/ SonarCloud, and SARIF results. Ref: SAST Use Case
No native SAST engine. Third-party SAST powered by Mend. No AIpowered analysis on SAST findings.
SCA
Native SCA via Collectors scanning GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket repos. Container-level SCA for OS packages and app dependencies. EPSS-based prioritization. Ref: SCA Scan
Third-party SCA powered by Mend. Static + dynamic SCA (identifies components used during runtime DAST).
Secrets Scanning
Native detection of API keys, OAuth tokens, DB passwords, SSH keys, cloud credentials across repos, pipelines, and workloads. Metadata-only upload. Secret scanning in runtime and CI/CD.Ref: Secrets Scan
Native secrets scanning with pattern-based, context-aware, entropy-based, and heuristic detection. Enabled by default in AppSec Core. Pre-deployment code scanning.
IaC Security
Supports Scans for Terraform, Helm, K8s YAML, CloudFormation, AWS CDK, Kustomize, Dockerfile, Ansible, Bicep, ARM, Serverless Framework. Policy-as-code enforcement. Ref: IaC Support Matrix

Automation & Rules Engine
Condition-based rules: autoticket (Jira, ServiceNow, GitHub), status changes, Slack/SIEM alerts. AI natural language rule creation. Smart parent/ child tickets. Ref: Rules Engine
Basic ticket and notification automation via integrations. No condition-based rules engine or AI rule creation.
Authenticated Scanning
Authenticated DAST with MFA/ TOTP support. Ref: DAST Authenticated

False Positive Reduction
EPSS scoring, CISA KEV, CWE classification, business impact weighting, AI-powered FP identification. Cross-scan correlation (SAST, DAST, SCA, IaC, Container). Ref: EPSS Scoring
Proof-Based Scanning with safe exploitation and proof-of-exploit artifacts. 99.98% accuracy claim. Suppression rules in ASPM.
API SECURITY
API Inventory & Detection
Real-time inventory from live gateway traffic. Upload or autogenerate OpenAPI specs. Detects Shadow, Zombie, and Orphan APIs by comparing spec against runtime traffic. PII/PHI classification on request/response bodies. Ref: API Security
Shadow/Zombie detection at scan-time only. No spec-upload comparison, no continuous monitoring.

No runtime protection, behavioral monitoring, or admission control.
Runtime Security
Kernel-level eBPF/LSM enforcement. Blocks attacks preexecution. 14+ hardening policies. Covers K8s, VMs, and bare-metal. Ref: CWPP Overview
SBOM & xBOM
XBOM
SBOM, CBOM, and AIBOM in CycloneDX 1.6 + SPDX. BOM version comparison, vulnerable component detection, license findings, dependency graph, cosign signing. CI/CD policy enforcement to block risky builds. Ref: xBOM Setup
SBOM only. No CBOM or AIBOM.
