VulnGraph vs Checkmarx
Enterprise per-repo AppSec, meet cross-service architecture intelligence.
Checkmarx One is a mature enterprise application-security platform: deep single-repository SAST, software-composition analysis, DAST and IaC scanning, with the governance and language breadth large programs need. VulnGraph doesn't replace that — it operates a layer up, unifying services and repositories into one architecture graph and tracking how untrusted data flows across the boundaries Checkmarx scans one side of. Enterprises typically run both.

When Checkmarx fits
Choose Checkmarx when you need a broad enterprise AppSec suite — deep per-repo SAST, SCA, DAST and IaC under one governance and compliance umbrella.
When VulnGraph fits
Choose VulnGraph when the risk is architectural — injection and trust-boundary paths that span services and repositories, blast radius, and AI-agent access no per-repo scanner can see.
Using them together
Run both: Checkmarx for deep per-repository coverage and governance, VulnGraph for the cross-service paths between those repositories. VulnGraph's SARIF output consolidates into the same code-scanning view.
