Xygeni is an AI-native Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) platform organized around three pillars: ASPM, Supply Chain Security, and AI Security. ASPM gives you one risk view across your toolchain: it ingests findings from native scanners and third-party tools alike (Snyk, Veracode, Checkmarx), then applies AI triage, prioritization, and remediation to all of them equally. Supply Chain Security protects the pipeline itself: dependencies, CI/CD, GitHub Actions, build infrastructure, and secrets. Its MEW engine catches malicious packages before a signature exists. AI Security covers the newest attack surface: DevAI secures agentic coding tools inside the IDE, while CoreAI gives security leaders an AI copilot for organizational risk. Native coverage spans SAST, SCA, DAST, Secrets, IaC, Container, and CI/CD. SaaS, on-prem, or air-gapped.

CodeSonar employs a unified dataflow and symbolic execution analysis that examines the computation of the complete application. By not relying on pattern matching or similar approximations, CodeSonar's static analysis engine is extraordinarily deep, finding 3-5 times more defects on average than other static analysis tools. Unlike many software development tools, such as testing tools, compilers, configuration management, etc., SAST tools can be integrated into a team's development process at any time with ease. SAST technologies like CodeSonar simply attach to your existing build environments to add analysis information to your verification process. Like a compiler, CodeSonar does a build of your code using your existing build environment, but instead of creating object code, CodeSonar creates an abstract model of your entire program. From the derived model, CodeSonar’s symbolic execution engine explores program paths, reasoning about program variables and how they relate.

Veracode offers a holistic, scalable way to manage security risk across your entire application portfolio. We are the only solution that can provide visibility into application status across all testing types, including SAST, DAST, SCA, and manual penetration testing, in one centralized view.
