Built for the AI-native SDLC. Deployed where your code lives.
See how Xygeni compares to Checkmarx on your own repositories.
Four differences that matter
Every Xygeni capability (ASPM, AI Triage, AI Remediation, MCP server, AI Inventory, Shield on the endpoint, DevAI in the IDE) runs in your chosen deployment. SaaS or on-premise, both hybrid by design. Code never leaves your infrastructure.
MEW analyzes every new package at publication, behaviorally, before any researcher has labeled it. Reactive threat-intel feeds wait for disclosure, and the exposure window is everything in between.
Three controls: AI Inventory for visibility, Shield + DevAI for active defense at endpoint and IDE, CoreAI for governance and audit trail. The EU AI Act asks for evidence, not a product.
No per-module unbundling, no cost explosion as your team and apps grow. Built for multi-year budget planning.
Side by side
| Capability |  | Checkmarx |
|---|---|---|
| On-prem ASPM + multi-SCM in one deployment | Native multi-SCM + on-prem ASPM | Legacy CxSAST only |
| LLM sovereignty (model + location) | Customer-chosen model + location | Depends on IDE |
| Pre-signature malicious package detection (MEW) | Behavioral, pre-disclosure | Reactive threat-intel |
| Malware detection across the SDLC | Packages + CI/CD + containers | Packages primarily |
| SLSA provenance + in-toto attestations | Native attestations | SBOM only |
| CBOM — Cryptography Bill of Materials | Native, post-quantum ready | Not available |
| Developer endpoint protection + IDE plugin | Shield (endpoint) + DevAI (IDE) | IDE plugins, no endpoint protection |
| Behavioral anomaly detection in SCM and CI | Native | Not available |
| Secrets with auto-revocation + merge block | Auto-revoke + block | Detection + validation |
| Remediation Risk at method level | Method + call sites identified | High-level guidance |
| Code quality in the same platform | Quality and security, one prioritization | Not available |

Differential
Full platform, anywhere. SaaS or on-premise, both hybrid by design. The scanner runs in your environment.
Code never leaves your infrastructure during a scan, in both deployments.
The full platform runs air-gapped, with zero connectivity.
LLM sovereignty: the customer chooses the model and the inference location.
European HQ, EU jurisdiction, ISO 27001 certified.
ASPM, Assist agents, MCP — cloud-hosted only
AI Supply Chain Security — cloud-hosted only
Source code uploaded to vendor environment during scan
Legacy CxSAST on-prem available — without ASPM, Assist, or AI
Differential
Behavioral analysis at registry publication — before anyone has labeled the package malicious. Detection extends to pipelines, container images, and source-code commits. Catches reverse shells in pipelines, malicious commands in build scripts, and tampered artifacts — not just bad packages.
Detection limited only to components.
Differential
Continuous discovery of every AI asset as a dependency graph (model → dataset → endpoint → agent → MCP server → coding tool). AI-BOM auto-generated per scan, with provenance, lineage, and license.
Shield protects the developer endpoint: age-based install control for packages, IDE extensions and plugins, blocking of malicious IPs and domains, isolation of a compromised machine, and one policy set by your security team. DevAI secures the IDE with an MCP server, alongside Copilot, Cursor, Claude and Windsurf. Two products, two surfaces, one platform.
Posture, business-impact prioritization, executive reporting, and an immutable audit trail of every blocked or permitted action. The evidence an EU AI Act auditor will request.
Yes, if you need a modern platform on-premise. Every Xygeni capability, including ASPM, AI Triage, AI Remediation, AI Inventory, Shield and DevAI, runs in SaaS or on-premise, with the LLM and inference location you choose.
No. Xygeni ASPM ingests Checkmarx findings and applies AI Triage, Explanation and Remediation to them, so you can start on top of what you run today and consolidate when you are ready.
Yes. The full platform runs on-premise, air-gapped or hybrid. With a local model, the AI capabilities work fully offline.
MEW analyzes every new package behaviorally at registry publication, before any researcher has labeled it. Detection also covers CI/CD pipelines, container images and source-code commits.
A Cryptography Bill of Materials inventories the cryptography in your software. Xygeni generates it natively, so you know what to migrate as post-quantum requirements arrive.
Bring the questions your Checkmarx evaluation left open. We will walk through them on your stack.
