NowSecure Platform vs Waratek IAST

NowSecure Platform gives organizations visibility into security, privacy, AI, compliance, and software supply-chain risks in mobile apps they build, use, or manage. It analyzes compiled Android and iOS binaries and runs apps on physical devices to observe runtime behavior such as network activity, storage, permissions, and data movement. Findings can include decompiled code, data-flow traces, runtime captures, and the technique used to produce them. The platform checks static flags against runtime behavior, raising corroborated findings and lowering the priority of those that runtime tests cannot reproduce. It produces a CycloneDX mobile software bill of materials based on components observed in the shipped binary, and maps findings to OWASP MASVS controls, MASWE weaknesses, and MASTG testing techniques. NowSecure describes the platform as cloud-deployed and lists CI/CD, issue-tracking, security-tool, and Slack integrations, along with REST and GraphQL APIs. Its integrations page reports more than 200 integrations. Pricing is available on request, with no public price stated.

Waratek IAST monitors Java applications as they run to identify vulnerabilities in application behavior. Runtime instrumentation tracks data flow and execution paths, and findings include the code line involved, a full stack trace, and the flow that led to the issue. Waratek says it analyzes compiled bytecode or binaries without source-code access. QA teams or automated suites can generate security insights while running regular functional tests, without a separate security scan phase. The product is offered through a Portal SaaS option or an on-prem Portal Dedicated deployment. Starter is a free trial for one application, with runtime analysis, basic CI/CD integration, standard vulnerability reporting, and email and knowledge base support. Team costs $2,499 per month and includes three applications, with the option to add up to two more for $833/mo per additional app. Jira and Slack integrations are marked Coming Soon. Enterprise pricing is custom, and its custom rulesets, advanced CI/CD plugins, and software composition analysis are marked Coming Soon. Waratek reports a 100% true positive rate, 0% false positive rate, and OWASP Benchmark score of 100.
