Anchore Enterprise vs Interlynk

Anchore Enterprise is an SBOM-powered platform for continuous software supply-chain security and compliance. It generates software bills of materials for containers, source code, and filesystems in Syft, CycloneDX, and SPDX formats, then continuously scans those SBOMs for vulnerabilities, secrets, and malware. Policy packs cover NIST, FedRAMP, and DISA, while policy-as-code rules use JSON instructions that can be version controlled in Git. Runtime inventory can cover images running across EKS, ECS, AKE, GKE, and OpenShift clusters. Deployment options include an AWS machine image or container images installed with Helm on Kubernetes-compatible platforms, including air-gapped environments. Every feature and operation can be instrumented through an API. Integrations include major CI, registry, and cloud services such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Amazon ECR, Azure DevOps, Docker Hub, and Harbor. It supports API, Linux, self-hosted, and web environments. Pricing is on request; there is no free plan, but a free trial is available.

Interlynk manages software bills of materials (SBOMs) for regulated software and devices. Its platform generates, ingests, enriches, monitors, and shares SBOMs, with workflows for open-source risk, suppliers, and embedded C/C++ firmware. The lynkctl generator supports IAR, GCC, or CMake builds. Component monitoring covers newly disclosed vulnerabilities, and teams can use VEX dispositions to filter findings that do not apply. Open-source risk management includes license obligations, known vulnerabilities, and maintenance status. Components are matched against NVD, GitHub Security Advisories, and OSV, then enriched with EPSS, CISA KEV, and CWE. Suppliers can submit CycloneDX or SPDX SBOMs through secure links without an account; links last 24 hours and renew when clicked after expiry. Integrations named include GitHub, GitLab, Jira, and Slack; a GraphQL API supports integration and workflow automation. The free Community Tier includes API access and alerts for policy failures and vulnerability disclosures. Interlynk says it supports work under FDA 524B, EU CRA, NIS2, DORA, and PCI DSS 4.0.
