Plexicus vs. Chainguard

Plexicus is the AI-native Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) platform with built-in Vibe Coding Security — purpose-built for the era of AI-assisted development. As developers ship more code, faster, with AI assistants like Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, Windsurf, Devin, Replit, Zed, and VS Code, the volume of vulnerable code is outpacing every traditional AppSec tool. Plexicus closes that gap by replacing alert-only scanners with an autonomous remediation loop that detects, prioritizes, and fixes risks directly in the developer's Git workflow. Unlike fragmented point solutions that drown DevSecOps teams in findings, Plexicus unifies the full application risk surface — SAST, SCA, secrets, IaC, container, and AI-specific threats — and resolves them with proprietary GenAI agents that open the pull request to fix the code. The Plexicus Platform includes: 1. AI-Native ASPM — Correlates findings across SAST, SCA, secrets, IaC, and container scanners into a single prioritized risk view, then generates the PR that fixes the underlying issue. No more triage backlogs, no more swivel-chair between tools. 2. Vibe Coding Security — The industry's first security layer designed specifically for AI-generated code, with five capabilities: - IDE Guardrail — real-time security feedback inside Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, Windsurf, and other AI coding tools. - MCP Security Scanner — protects Model Context Protocol integrations from prompt injection and tool abuse. - Hallucination & Slopsquatting Detector — catches non-existent or malicious packages invented by AI assistants. - Authz & Business-Logic Analyzer — surfaces the access-control and logic flaws that pattern-based scanners miss. - AI Provenance & AIBOM — tracks which code came from which AI tool, with full attestation for audits. 3. Compliance-grade evidence — SOC 2 Type II, NIS2, DORA Art. 28, CRA, and EU AI Act evidence packs out of the box. On the CPSTIC pathway. EU data residency by default.

Chainguard Containers are a curated catalog of minimal, zero-CVE container images backed by a leading CVE remediation SLA—7 days for critical vulnerabilities, and 14 days for high, medium, and low severities—helping teams build and ship software more securely. Contemporary software development and deployment pipelines demand secure, continuously updated containerized workloads for cloud-native environments. Chainguard delivers minimal images built entirely from source using fortified build infrastructure, including only the essential components required to build and run containers. Tailored for both engineering and security teams, Chainguard Containers reduce costly engineering effort associated with vulnerability management, strengthen application security by minimizing attack surface, and streamline compliance with key industry frameworks and customer expectations—ultimately helping unlock business value.
