Alternative to Checkmarx

Four differences that matter

What makes Xygeni the right replacement

Detail in the four slides that follow. If you only remember these, that's enough.
01
Liberdade de implantação

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.

02
Pre-signature malware

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.

03
AI Security as architecture

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.

04
Economia previsível

No per-module unbundling, no cost explosion as your team and apps grow. Built for multi-year budget planning.

Capacidade check-marx
No local ASPM + multi-SCM in one deployment ✅ Native multi-SCM + on-prem ASPM ⚠️ Legacy CxSAST só
LLM sovereignty (model + location) ✅ Customer-chosen model + location ⚠️ Depends on IDE

Detecção de malware em todo o SDLC ✅ Packages + CI/CD + containers ⚠️ Packages primarily
SLSA provenance + in-toto attestations ✅ Native attestations ⚠️ SBOM só
CBOM — Lista de Materiais de Criptografia ✅ Native, post-quantum ready ❌ Não disponível
Developer endpoint protection + IDE plugin ✅ Shield (endpoint) + DevAI (IDE) ⚠️ IDE plugins, no endpoint protection
Behavioral anomaly detection in SCM e CI ✅ Nativo ❌ Não disponível
Secrets with auto-revocation + merge block ✅ Auto-revoke + block ⚠️ Detection + validation
Remediation Risk at method level ✅ Método + locais de chamada identificados ⚠️ High-level guidance
Code quality in the same platform ✅ Quality and security, one prioritization ❌ Não disponível

Diferencial

Same deployment. Different content inside.

Two deployments. Scanner always runs in your environment — code stays put.

Full platform, anywhere.

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.

check-marx

SaaS-only modern stack

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

Diferencial

Both detect malware. The difference is when.

Reactive threat-intel feeds wait for disclosure. MEW catches at registry publication, behaviorally.

Behavioral analysis at registry publication — before anyone has labeled the package malicious. Detection extends to pipelines, imagens de contêiner e código-fonte commits. Captura projéteis invertidos em pipelines, malicious commands in build scripts, and tampered artifacts — not just bad packages.

checkmarx
Checkmarx catches here

Detection limited only to components.

Diferencial

EU AI Act doesn't ask for a product. It asks for controls.

Three layers: visibility, active defense, governance with audit trail.
Visibilidade
01
Inventário de IA

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.

ACTIVE DEFENSE
02
Shield + DevAI

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 Produtos, two surfaces, one platform.

GOVERNANÇA
03
ASPM

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.

Perguntas Frequentes

Is Xygeni a good alternative to Checkmarx?

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.

Não. 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, imagens de contêiner e código-fonte 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.
