How OX outperforms Checkmarx
Capability
Why It Matters
AI Code Generation Security
VibeSec – prevention at creation
Not available
OX prevents vulnerabilities before they exist, eliminating security debt entirely.
Business-Risk Prioritization
Runtime reachability + business context (PBOM, ADR)
Rule-based prioritization with limited runtime context
OX focuses teams on the few issues that actually impact the business, not theoretical risk.
Complete SDLC Security Coverage
Native, context aware code to runtime coverage
SAST-centric coverage
OX delivers high-confidence findings that separate theoretical risk from actual risk.
Unified Code to Cloud
Native, unified in the OX platform
No unified code-to-cloud view
Fragmented tools mean fractured context. OX provides unified visibility from code to cloud, eliminating blind spots and misaligned fixes.
Runtime Exposure Analysis
Attack path mapping & exploitability
Not available
OX shows what can truly be exploited in production, enabling faster, smarter remediation.
AI Pentester
Continuous agentic validation
Not available
OX uncovers hidden exploit paths through intelligent, context-driven attack simulation
ASPM
Govern 120+ integrations
Limited governance layer
OX delivers clarity, context and real time insights across the entire organization
Platform Consolidation
Unified AppSec + Cloud + ASPM (10+ capabilities)
Multiple products and workflows
OX reduces cost, complexity, and context switching while accelerating secure delivery
Customers Agree on OX:
“A team with a passion for AppSec, underscored by lightning paced development and a fantastic value proposition.”
Real Problems Security Teams Face
Too many alerts,
not enough context
not enough context
Security tools surface findings – but teams still triage noise because context is missing.
Blind spots outside code
Cloud exposure, API reachability, and runtime risk aren’t visible in most developer tools.
Tool sprawl drains velocity
Teams stitch together SAST, SCA, CSPM, and runtime tools – losing signal and slowing remediation.

FAQ
OX Security prevents vulnerabilities at creation and proves runtime-relevant risk in a single unified platform. Checkmarx is a scanner-centric application security platform focused on static analysis that identifies vulnerabilities after code is written.
OX Security prevents vulnerabilities during code creation using Vibe Security and context-driven controls. Checkmarx detects vulnerabilities after code is developed, requiring remediation later in the lifecycle.
Static analysis identifies code issues without understanding how they behave in production. OX Security adds runtime context and validation, ensuring only real risks are prioritized.
OX Security reduces false positives by using PBOM and code-to-runtime context to identify real, exploitable risks. Checkmarx relies on static code analysis, which can generate findings without full runtime context.
OX Security provides better risk prioritization by predicting which vulnerabilities will impact production. Checkmarx identifies code-level issues but lacks full cloud and runtime context to determine real application risk.
SASТ tools like Checkmarx analyze code statically without full runtime context. OX Security connects code to runtime using PBOM, allowing it to predict which vulnerabilities actually matter in production.
OX Security improves developer productivity by preventing vulnerabilities before code is committed, eliminating rework. Checkmarx identifies issues after development, requiring developers to stop and fix problems later.
PBOM is OX Security’s dynamic model that maps code, dependencies, pipelines, and runtime relationships. PBOM allows OX Security to predict real risk early, while Checkmarx does not provide full code-to-runtime traceability.
Checkmarx is designed for traditional static code analysis but is not built for AI-generated code or full code-to-cloud security. OX Security is designed for AI-driven development and runtime-aware risk.
Choose OX Security when you want to prevent vulnerabilities before they reach production and eliminate security debt. OX Security is the better choice when you need AI-native, context-driven application security across the full SDLC.
It’s Time to Secure Code the Way Software Is Built
OX embeds security at the source and carries it through to runtime, so teams stay fast and in control.
