Legit Security vs
Ox Security Comparison

You might encounter many options when searching for the best ASPM tool in cybersecurity. Here are two alternatives to consider: Legit Security vs. Ox Security. 

legit-vs-ox
How Do Ox Security and Legit Security Compare?
Legit Security and Ox Security are ASPM (Application Security Posture Management) solutions designed to assist security teams in optimizing the management of their application security programs. Both strive to make sense of AppSec findings for security teams, making it easier to prioritize and remediate them.  
Legit Security vs. Ox Security Differences  
There are several important differences between the Legit Security and Ox Security platforms. For example: 
Framework-Mapping-Updated

Framework mapping 

Ox utilizes proprietary framework mapping (OSC&R) to show gaps in an SDLC/AppSec program. Legit offers a proprietary framework as well but also maps to many other industry standards such as PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, NIST 800.53, SSDF, CISA Attestation, FedRAMP,  SLSA, and OWASP standards.   

integrating-with

Secrets scanning 

While Ox offers secrets scanning, Legit offers more comprehensive secrets scanning that spans across code, containers, Wiki, ServiceNow, Slack, and many other areas of an SDLC that could contain secrets. Additionally, Legit leverages AI in its secrets scanning to automate and improve false positive identification. 

AppSec-Scanners

Types of AppSec scanners 

Ox offers its own AppSec scanners, almost all of which are embedded open source tools. Legit offers its own AppSec scanners as well, but its scanners are proprietary, allowing for better accuracy and results. Additionally, Legit provides integrations with all best-of-breed scanners.  

identifying-findings

Identifying findings vs. overall risk 

Ox is centered on providing a unified view of AppSec findings, while Legit focuses on delivering a complete overview of application risk. Legit offers top-tier visibility into the entire software factory and enables rapid prioritization and remediation of the highest-risk areas. 

Why is Legit Security the Top Alternative to Ox Security?

These are just a few of the capabilities that make Legit Security stand out from the competition. 

Legit-Context

Legit context

By unifying diverse data points, such as an application's business criticality, Internet exposure, sensitive data handling, API exposure, and AI usage, Legit context gives enterprises a clear view of their true risk posture and key remediation priorities.

Legit-Remediation

Legit root cause remediation

Legit is now the sole ASPM platform offering root cause remediation actions, enabling organizations to lower AppSec risk by addressing issues at their source. By identifying key choke points where remediation can resolve multiple issues simultaneously, security teams can speed up risk reduction while lightening the load on developers.  

Legit-Secrets-Security-Car

AI-powered false positive reduction for secrets

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 adds “Active Secret Validation,” which tries to validate whether a secret is valid or not to further increase accuracy. 

Legit-Integration

Integration with existing tool stack  

Legit works with all the AppSec tools you currently use, streamlining and coordinating their findings so you get more from your investment in these solutions.  

Legit- Supply

Supply chain security  

Legit goes beyond vulnerabilities in code to focus on the security of your entire software factory. Because the Legit ASPM platform discovers and visualizes all aspects of both applications and the software factory producing these assets, plus all security controls and gaps, Legit is in a unique position to offer a snapshot of common areas of AppSec posture risk.  

Legit-Framework-car

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.  

Legit-AI-car

AI inventory and posture management  

As developers harness the power of AI and large language models (LLMs) to develop and deploy capabilities more quickly, new risks arise, including vulnerabilities, copyright restrictions, and data exposure. Legit helps security teams understand when and where AI is used in development and that it is being used securely.
