Legit Security vs Apiiro Comparison
Discover a straightforward comparison of Legit Security vs. Apiiro and learn why Legit Security is the leading ASPM choice to secure your business.
Legit Security vs. Apiiro Differences
There are several key differences between the Legit Security and Apiiro solutions. For example:
SDLC discovery
Legit offers discovery and a visual graph of SDLC build assets, offering full visibility into pipeline and code to production path, whereas Apiiro does not.
Framework mapping
Apiiro does not map controls to compliance frameworks. Legit maps to many industry standards such as PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, NIST 800.53, SSDF, CISA Attestation, FedRAMP, SLSA, and OWASP standards.
AI inventory and posture management
Legit tracks and identifies risks associated with the use of GenAI, LLMs, and MLops, whereas Apiiro does not. As developers leverage AI and large language models (LLMs) to accelerate development and deployment, new risks emerge, such as vulnerabilities, copyright issues, and data exposure. Legit enables security teams to understand when and where AI is being used in development and ensures it is being utilized securely.
Integrating with scanners vs. built-in scanners
Apiiro offers its own SCA and SAST scanners; Legit does as well, but also offers IaC and pipeline scanners, plus integrations with best-of-breed AppSec scanners.
Remediation of risk
Apiiro assists in prioritizing your risk findings, whereas Legit not only helps prioritize them but also addresses them through root cause remediation.
Code vulnerabilities vs. overall risk
Apiiro is focused on the security of source code; Legit is focused on a comprehensive view of application risk. Legit offers best-of-breed visibility into the entire software factory and then helps you quickly prioritize and remediate the areas of highest risk.
Secrets scanning
Legit, unlike Apiiro, utilizes AI to drastically reduce false positives in secrets detection. Legit has developed a machine learning model that can be directed at vast amounts of code and fine-tuned (trained) to understand the nuance of secrets and when they should be considered false-positive. Given a secret and the context in which it was introduced, this model knows whether it should be flagged. Using this approach reduces the number of false positives while keeping true positive rates stable.
The solution also includes “Active Secret Validation,” which tries to validate whether a secret is valid or not to further improve accuracy.
When Legit tested the use of its AI/ML on over 10,000 manually labeled samples from open-source projects, they achieved a 92% reduction in false positives with minimal impact on true positives. This resulted in a significant reduction in noise and enhanced risk prioritization.
Why Legit Security is the Best Alternative to Apiiro
Here are a few of the capabilities that distinguish Legit Security from its competitors.
Legit root cause remediation
Legit is now the only ASPM platform to support root cause remediation actions, empowering organizations to reduce AppSec risk by fixing issues at the true source of the problem. By pinpointing the choke points where remediation actions can address multiple issues at once, security teams accelerate risk reduction and reduce the burden on developers.
Beyond vulnerabilities in code
Legit focuses on visibility into and security of the entire software factory, not just vulnerabilities in code.
Speed to operationalize
Customers quickly have the Legit ASPM platform up and running and highlighting their development environment and its security controls.
Built-in scanners
Legit integrates with all the AppSec tools you're currently using and also provides its own SCA, SAST, pipeline and source control management security, secrets detection, and more.
Compliance framework mapping
Legit maps your security guardrails to regulations including PCI-DSS, FedRamp, NIST 800.53, SSDF, CISA Attestation, SLSA, and OWASP. With real-time monitoring and alerts on compliance violations, Legit eases the burden of complying with regulations.
AI-powered false positive reduction for secrets
Legit utilizes AI to drastically reduce false positives in secrets detection, unlike Apiiro.
AI inventory and posture management
Legit inventories and identifies risk in GenAI, LLMs and MLops usage; Apiiro does not.
