How we sit next to the tools you already run.
Most of these find problems somebody already reported. Vigilance finds what is new. You almost always want both, and every page below says so.

Vigilance vs Black Duck
Lists the open source parts inside your software and flags the ones with known bugs.
Vigilance vs Snyk
Checks your code and the parts you depend on against a list of known bugs, then opens pull requests to fix them.
Vigilance vs Socket
Reads packages from public places like npm and flags a new version that starts running scripts or reaching the internet.
Vigilance vs Sonatype Nexus
Holds your packages and blocks the ones it knows are bad before a build can pull them.
Vigilance vs JFrog Xray
Scans everything stored in Artifactory and reports known bugs, licence problems and where a bad part came from.
Vigilance vs Chainguard
Builds container images that hold almost nothing, so there is almost nothing in them to go wrong.
Vigilance vs Tripwire
Watches files on a server and tells you when one changed. You write a policy first that says which files matter.
Vigilance vs Wiz
Looks across your cloud accounts and shows where they are exposed, with nothing to install on each machine.
Vigilance vs GitHub Advanced Security
Warns you when a part you depend on has a known bug, when a password gets committed, and when its scanner finds a mistake in your code.
Vigilance vs Sigstore and SLSA
Signs a release and records how it was built, so you can prove it came from the build you expect.
Vigilance vs Trivy
Scans containers, folders and repositories for known bugs, bad settings and committed passwords. It is free and runs anywhere.
Vigilance vs Semgrep
Reads source code and finds mistakes in it, using rules you can write yourself.
