Prisma Cloud SCA vs Veza SSPM

Prisma Cloud SCA scans open-source packages for vulnerabilities and license-compliance issues across code, builds, deployment, and runtime. It analyzes direct and transitive dependencies, including packages deep in dependency trees, and connects application and infrastructure findings to help teams prioritize risk exposed in their codebase. Support covers popular languages and package managers and draws on more than 30 upstream data sources. Teams can set scanning policies across repositories, registries, CI/CD pipelines, and runtime environments. Developers can receive vulnerability feedback in IDEs and version-control pull or merge requests, with CLI extensibility. Its Supply Chain Graph inventories and visualizes pipelines and code; the product can generate SBOMs and IBOMs for export in standard formats. Remediation recommendations include small version updates for direct and transitive dependencies, while allowing developers to choose package versions. License policies can alert on or block builds and deployments. Named sources include GitHub repositories and Docker, Quay, and Artifactory registries. A free 30-day Prisma Cloud trial includes code security, but the trial page does not specify SCA separately. SCA pricing is on request.

Veza SSPM governs identity access, permissions, and configuration risks across SaaS applications in real time. It continuously discovers users, administrators, and service accounts across major SaaS platforms, then flags settings such as missing MFA, exposed OAuth tokens, and open administrator privileges. Role-based context helps identify overprivileged identities, which the product can remediate. Connections with IAM, IGA, and ITSM platforms support issue resolution and automated governance workflows. Veza generates real-time, audit-ready reports describing access governance across SaaS applications. Its integration catalog spans SaaS, identity, cloud, data, and HR systems; examples include Okta, OpenAI, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Workday, and Google Drive. The Open Authorization API provides a route for custom application connections. Veza states that SSPM has SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications and complies with GDPR and CCPA. It is offered through web and API access, with pricing and custom demonstrations handled by request.
