OX Security alternatives

We build CRACI, so weigh that in; we describe every option from its own documentation and say when another tool fits better.

The best OX Security alternatives at a glance

Why teams look beyond OX Security

OX Security is an application security posture management (ASPM) platform. It has its own scanners for SAST, SCA, secrets, IaC and containers, pulls in findings from tools such as Checkmarx, Veracode, SonarQube, Snyk, Black Duck and JFrog Xray, and adds runtime and cloud context. Its CI/CD posture policies flag insecure workflow files, unpinned third-party actions, excessive workflow permissions, plaintext secrets and risky webhooks. For supply chain security it offers the Pipeline Bill of Materials (PBOM), a signed record per build of pipeline definitions, runner identity, build arguments, artifact signatures and version lineage.

Teams still compare alternatives, usually for one of these reasons:

• A different ASPM emphasis. Other platforms weigh architecture context, governance, runtime protection in CI or cloud context differently.
• Scanning without a platform. Some teams want strong scanners and no posture layer on top.
• Evidence from the build itself. OX's documentation says its SBOM collects data from connected sources: source control, CI/CD pipelines, container images and imported files. Some teams need a record taken while each release was built, and control over what the build could reach.
• Pricing. OX publishes no list prices, and prices each product in its own unit: OX Code per contributing developer, OX VibeSec per AI user, OX Cloud per cloud asset and the Agentic Pentester by agent hours (as of September 2026).

What to look for

• Breadth or depth: one platform across your tools, or a deeper view of one point such as the build.
• Whether you need native SAST and secrets scanning, or will connect scanners you already own.
• Where the SBOM comes from: code analysis, connected sources, or the build itself.
• Whether you need posture checks on pipeline configuration, control over what builds can reach, or both.
• Which source control and CI systems you need covered today.
• Whether the vendor publishes prices, and what it counts.

The options

1. CRACI (our product)

CRACI competes with OX for the same supply chain budget from a different vantage point: it is the runner your GitHub Actions jobs execute on. While each job runs, a package-aware proxy records every external dependency it fetches, including packages restored from CI caches and hidden dependencies that no lockfile lists. Each SBOM (CycloneDX or SPDX) states its completeness per job and per cache, so a gap in the record is visible. CRACI enforces an egress policy that is validated before the job starts and fails closed, and keeps re-evaluating the SBOMs of what shipped. Policy gates can block a build on findings, and CRACI's inventory view shows exactly which software versions are deployed to which products, globally.

Best for: teams on GitHub Actions that want the runner, egress control and a record of each build in one product, instead of a picture assembled from connected tools. What you give up: CRACI has no SAST, secrets, IaC or container scanning, no CI/CD posture checks, no third-party scanner aggregation and no runtime or cloud context. It supports GitHub Actions on Linux only today, with GitLab CI and Jenkins on the roadmap. If you need code and posture scanning, keep a scanner for that. CRACI vs OX Security

2. Apiiro

Apiiro is an ASPM platform. Deep Code Analysis maps your architecture from code to runtime, and the Risk Graph correlates findings from Apiiro's own scanners and third-party tools. Its supply chain module inventories repositories and pipelines, including shadow pipelines, and flags weak branch protection and abnormal commits. It connects through APIs and needs no CI changes.

Best for: large AppSec programs that want architecture context across many systems. Consider if: you want risk ranked by what your code does and where it runs. The pages we cite publish no prices. CRACI vs Apiiro

3. Cycode

Cycode calls itself an agentic development security platform and grew out of ASPM. It sells code security (SAST, SCA with reachability, container and IaC scanning), CI/CD security, secrets and code leak detection, and posture management with more than 100 connectors. Its Cimon agent uses eBPF inside your CI jobs to monitor process execution, network egress and file access, produces a runtime-observed SBOM and signs provenance.

Best for: teams that want ASPM plus runtime protection inside the CI systems they already run. Consider if: you want an agent on runners you keep. Cycode does not list prices; its pricing page says pricing is based on active developers and AI usage (as of September 2026). CRACI vs Cycode

4. Legit Security

Legit Security maps your whole development lifecycle: an inventory of SDLC systems, pipelines and the security controls on them, with hundreds of policies across source control, CI and registries. It orchestrates scanners such as Snyk, Checkmarx and GitHub Advanced Security, adds native SAST and SCA, finds secrets in build logs, Slack and Confluence as well as code, and creates SBOMs and signed attestations.

Best for: a security team that inherited many repositories and several CI systems. Consider if: governance across tools matters more than depth on any one. It reads configuration and scanner output through APIs. CRACI vs Legit Security

5. Wiz Code

Wiz Code is the code security part of the Wiz platform. Wiz says it has built-in SAST, SCA, secrets, IaC and malware scanning, and ties code issues to live cloud and runtime context, tracing them back to the source repository, commit and owner. Its supply chain coverage includes CI/CD misconfigurations and version control weaknesses, checked against the CIS and OWASP CI/CD Top 10 benchmarks. It integrates with GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket, several IDEs, and third-party scanners such as Semgrep, Snyk and Checkmarx. Since April 2026 it also maps GitHub Actions workflows, jobs and runners on the Wiz Security Graph and flags risky triggers and permissions.

Best for: teams that already use Wiz for cloud security and want code risk in the same place. Consider if: cloud context is the main way you prioritize. Wiz publishes no list prices; licensing is by quote (as of September 2026). CRACI vs Wiz

6. Kusari

Kusari comes from the team that co-created GUAC, the OpenSSF graph for supply chain metadata. It builds a knowledge graph from your SBOMs, VEX documents and scanner output, shows the blast radius of a new vulnerability, analyzes reachability and opens AutoFix pull requests. Kusari Inspector reviews pull requests for malicious packages, secrets and insecure workflows.

Best for: one graph across many SBOM sources and scanners. Consider if: you already have SBOMs and scanners and want them joined up. Kusari says Inspector is free to install. CRACI vs Kusari

7. Checkmarx One

Checkmarx One is a broad AppSec platform: SAST, SCA, secrets, IaC, API security, DAST, containers and malicious package protection, with an ASPM layer on top. Its SCA uses exploitable path analysis, and policies can break builds.

Best for: organizations that want one vendor for application security testing. Consider if: scanning depth matters more to you than aggregating other tools. Pricing is by quote, based on modules, deployment model and developers in scope (as of September 2026). CRACI vs Checkmarx One

8. Snyk

Snyk is a developer security platform that runs in the IDE, the CLI, against repositories and in CI. Snyk Open Source prioritizes findings with reachability, exploit maturity, EPSS and CVSS and opens upgrade pull requests. Snyk Code, Snyk Container and Snyk Infrastructure as Code cover first-party code, images and IaC.

Best for: teams that want security feedback where developers work. Consider if: you want published prices: Team from $25 per month and Enterprise by quote (as of September 2026). CRACI vs Snyk

9. Aikido

Aikido is a broad AppSec suite. Every plan lists SCA, SAST, secrets, IaC, cloud posture, container scanning, DAST, license scanning and SBOM generation. Its SCA uses function-level reachability, and AutoFix opens pull requests.

Best for: smaller teams that want one tool and one dashboard for most scanning needs. Consider if: you want OX's scanning breadth at a smaller scale. There is a free Developer plan, and paid plans start at $350 per month (as of September 2026). CRACI vs Aikido

Side by side

Supply chain and ASPM platforms, compared with OX Security. Wiz Code, Checkmarx One, Snyk and Aikido are described above and left out of this table. "Not stated" means the vendor pages we cite do not say either way. Prices are as of September 2026. For CRACI's current terms, see pricing.

When to stay with OX Security

• You want one ASPM platform that aggregates many scanners and prioritizes across them.
• You need CI/CD posture policies across GitLab, Jenkins, Azure Pipelines or CircleCI.
• You want pull request gating on code, secrets and IaC findings.
• You value a PBOM that records pipeline definitions and runner identity across every CI system you run.

If a record of each build is on your list, book a demo, or read about egress policy for GitHub Actions and build-time SBOM generation.

OX Security alternatives FAQ

Short answers to the questions teams ask when they compare

What are the best OX Security alternatives?

For another ASPM platform, look at Apiiro, Cycode or Legit Security, or Wiz Code if you already use Wiz for cloud security. Kusari joins your SBOMs and scanners in one graph. For scanning without a posture layer, look at Checkmarx One, Snyk or Aikido. CRACI replaces the GitHub Actions runner itself: it records what each build fetched, controls what it can reach and signs provenance for what it produced.

What is a PBOM?

A Pipeline Bill of Materials is OX Security's signed record of how each artifact was built, from commit through CI/CD to production. OX says it captures pipeline definitions, runner identity, build arguments, artifact signatures and version lineage, and every open-source component resolved into the build. CRACI's closest equivalent is a build-time SBOM recorded by the runner, with a completeness state per job and signed provenance for each artifact.

How much does OX Security cost?

OX does not publish list prices. As of September 2026, its pricing page prices OX Code per contributing developer, counting anyone registered in your connected source control who committed code in the past 90 days. OX VibeSec is priced per AI user, OX Cloud per cloud asset and the Agentic Pentester by agent hours. Among the alternatives, Snyk and Aikido publish prices; Apiiro, Legit Security and Wiz do not.

Which is better, OX Security or Apiiro?

They weigh different things. OX leads with CI/CD posture policies, aggregation of third-party scanners and its signed PBOM. Apiiro leads with Deep Code Analysis, which maps your architecture from code to runtime and ranks risk in its Risk Graph. Choose OX for pipeline posture across many CI systems, Apiiro for architecture context.

Does CRACI replace OX Security?

For the build side of supply chain security on GitHub Actions, yes: CRACI is the runner, so it records what each build fetched, enforces an egress policy that fails closed and monitors the SBOMs of what shipped. It does not replace OX's code scanning or its signed PBOM. CRACI has no SAST, secrets, IaC or container scanning, no CI/CD posture checks, no scanner aggregation and no runtime or cloud context, and it supports GitHub Actions only today, with GitLab CI and Jenkins on the roadmap.
