How Safeguard.sh Compares

Zero CVE Start + IDE Extension + Self-Healing vs Scan-and-Alert

85% of breaches start with vulnerable dependencies. Compare Safeguard.sh's 6,000+ zero CVE components + NEW IDE Extension + autonomous self-healing against Snyk, GitHub, Checkmarx, Veracode, Black Duck, and Wiz. Start clean before deployment. Secure code as you write it. 100-level dependency depth (40 more than competitors). 80% fewer false positives. Deploy anywhere: Cloud, on-prem, air-gapped.

Zero CVE Components (Start Clean vs Scan-and-Alert)

6,000+ zero CVE images + malware-free packages—eliminate inherited vulnerabilities before deployment

None—inherit vulnerabilities, scan after deployment

None—Dependabot fixes after deployment

None—traditional scanning approach

None—testing-focused only

None—policy enforcement only

None—runtime scanning only

IDE Extension (Security at Speed of Development)

NEW: VS Code, IntelliJ, PyCharm—auto-fix as you code (95% developer adoption)

IDE plugins—alert-only, no auto-fix

Copilot—code generation, limited security

No IDE extension

Dependency Depth (How Deep Can You See?)

100-level tracing—found vuln 87 levels deep (40 more than competitors)

~60 levels—misses deeply nested threats

Direct + limited transitive

Limited analysis depth

Limited transitive scanning

Standard depth analysis

Runtime scanning only

False Positives (Alert Fatigue vs Focus)

80% reduction with reachability analysis—only exploitable vulnerabilities

High (92% false positive rate)—alerts on all CVEs

High—no reachability context

High—requires manual triage

High—reports all vulnerabilities

High—policy violations without context

Moderate—runtime context

Remediation Approach (Autonomous vs Manual)

Autonomous Auto-Fix—92% faster (45 days → 3 days), no manual approval

Alert-based—manual fixing (weeks of delays)

Dependabot PRs—manual review required

Reports—manual remediation workflows

Scan reports—manual developer fixing

Policy alerts—manual remediation

Cloud alerts—manual fixing
