Plexicus vs. Minimus

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.

Minimus is a next-generation security solution offering radically minimal container and virtual machine images that significantly reduce vulnerabilities in cloud environments. Developed by the Twistlock team—the pioneers of container security and authors of the authoritative NIST SP 800-190 guidance—Minimus builds its images entirely from scratch using only the essential upstream components required to run your application. This approach drastically minimizes the attack surface compared to traditional container images packed with unnecessary software. The OCI-compliant Minimus images integrate seamlessly into existing deployment workflows, requiring only a single line change in your deployment configuration to adopt. Minimus eliminates the burden of frequent, low-value vulnerability remediation, freeing developers to focus on innovation while operations teams easily deploy and manage secure images using their existing tooling. The platform offers transparent, measurable risk reduction and delivers near-instant time to value after deployment. Rebuilt daily, Minimus images proactively remove over 95% of known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), effectively preventing vulnerabilities from entering your cloud infrastructure. This eliminates the exhausting cycle of patching and vulnerability management typically associated with container security. By preventing vulnerabilities from existing in the first place, Minimus empowers organizations to secure their cloud-native applications efficiently and effectively. It’s a revolutionary solution for teams seeking to strengthen their cloud security posture while simplifying operations and accelerating delivery.
