How does Fluid Attacks' service compare to NowSecure's? The following comparison table enables you to discern the performance of both providers across various attributes essential for meeting your company’s cybersecurity needs.

Criteria Fluid Attacks Essential Fluid Attacks Advanced NowSecure
Accuracy Our SAST tool achieved the best possible result against the OWASP Benchmark: a TPR (True Positive Rate) of 100% and an FPR (False Positive Rate) of 0%. We identify 90% of the evaluated systems' risk exposure. (Accuracy is calculated with the F1 score. Risk exposure is calculated with the formula CVSSF=4^(CVSS-4).) They say their platform has near zero FPR.
Binary SAST No Yes. We support Java Bytecode, x86 ASM and ARM ASM. No
Source SAST Yes. We support the following languages: Bash, C#, Dart, Go, HTML, Java, Javascript, Kotlin, PHP, Python, Swift and Typescript
 Yes. Its capability is equal to that of the Essential plan. No
DAST Yes. We can scan single-page apps (SPA), multi-page apps (MPA), REST API, GraphQL API and gRPC API. Yes. Its capability is equal to that of the Essential plan. No
IAST No No No
SCA Yes. We support the following package managers: Cargo, Composer, Conan, Docker Images, GitHub Actions, Go, Gradle, Hex, Maven, NPM, NuGet, pNPM, pip, Poetry, Pub, RubyGems, SBT, SwiftPM and Yarn. Yes. Its capability is equal to that of the Essential plan. No

Integrations

We offer the following integrations: (a) CI/CD: Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, and GitLab CI; (b) IDE: VS Code; (c) runtime cloud: AWS, Azure, and GCP; (d) SCM: GitLab; and (e) ticketing: Jira.
Its capability is equal to that of the Essential plan.
CI/CD: GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Microsoft Azure DevOps, Bitrise, Xcode Server, Circle CI, GitLab; (b) SCM: GitHub; (c) ticketing: Jira; (d) vulnerability management: Coalfire, Treadfix, Brinqa, Synopsys.
Fast and automatic Yes Yes Fast scans performed by automated security testing tools.
Remediation We offer extensive documentation on fixes and functions in our IDE extension that leverage gen AI to get step-by-step remediation guidance and automated fixes. In addition to the Essential plan features, we offer the option of "Talk to a hacker" in which our experts help clients understand how to remediate the most challenging vulnerabilities. They offer documentation for vulnerability remediation.
CI/CD security We can integrate with CI/CD systems and trigger a build pipeline failure to prevent from deploying a noncompliant software version into production (break the build). Offers the same capability as that of the Essential plan. They do not break the build.
Vulnerability detection method Automated tools Hybrid (automated tools + AI + human intelligence) Automated tools
Vulnerability chaining No By combining vulnerabilities A and B, we discover a new, higher impact vulnerability C. No
Delivery of evidence Our evidence is delivered in (a) PDF executive reports, (b) XLS/PDF technical reports, (c) code pieces and (d) graphs and metrics of the system's security status. We deliver all the types of evidence mentioned in the Essential plan, and additionally, (a) video recordings of the attack and (b) screenshots with explanatory annotations. Their evidence is delivered in PDF as (a) executive report, (b) customizable and detailed report in PDF, (c) CSV, (d) XML and JSON format.
Exploitation No We can do exploitation as long as the client provides an available environment. No
Zero-day vulnerabilities No Our security researchers search for zero-day vulnerabilities in open-source software. No
AI/ML triage No Using artificial intelligence (AI), we prioritize potentially vulnerable files for their assessment. Our AI is specially trained by machine learning (ML) with thousands of snippets of vulnerable code. No
