Black Duck Polaris vs OX Security

Black Duck Polaris is a cloud application-security platform that brings several types of testing into software development workflows. Its engines cover static analysis through Polaris fAST Static, software composition analysis through Polaris fAST SCA, and dynamic analysis through Polaris fAST Dynamic. It also scans infrastructure as code and detects secrets. Dashboards, correlated and enriched findings, portfolio analytics, and role-based views help teams organize risk. Polaris can produce software bills of materials using package-manager, signature, binary, and container analysis. It generates compliance reports for PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, SOC 2, and ISO 27001, and maps findings to OWASP Top 10 and CWE. Repository integrations include Azure DevOps, Bitbucket, GitHub, and GitLab. Issue tracking connects with Azure DevOps, Jira Cloud and Data Center, and ServiceNow; Jira and ServiceNow support two-way synchronization. Pricing is on request, and a free trial is available. The service description limits an application to 1 million lines of code and five supporting projects.

OX Security is an application security platform that covers software from code through runtime, including protection in AI editors and IDEs. OX Code addresses SAST, software composition analysis, secrets and PII, SBOM, infrastructure as code, CI/CD, Git posture, containers, malicious dependencies and API discovery. OX Cloud includes runtime security, cloud posture tools, inventory and attack-path mapping; OX VibeSec applies organization-specific context to AI coding tools. OX Agentic Pentester performs AI-driven penetration testing, API assessments and proof-of-concept exploitation, with OWASP mapping. The platform lists more than 150 integrations, including GitHub, GitLab, AWS, Jira, Slack and ChatGPT. It supports hybrid deployment and lists on-premises options, SSO, automatic provisioning, MCP and API support. OX says it connects to existing tools without agents or complex setup. Pricing is available on request, based on active developers who committed code in connected source control in the past 90 days or are expected to contribute during the licensing period. The IDE extension supports Visual Studio Code and compatible environments such as Cursor, Windsurf and VSCodium.
