Snyk focuses on dependency vulnerabilities in your codebase. SecureScan scans your live web application for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, XSS, SQL injection, and more -- no installation required.
Try SecureScan FreeSnyk is an excellent developer security platform that focuses on finding vulnerabilities in your code dependencies, container images, and infrastructure-as-code. If your primary security concern is whether your npm packages or Docker base images have known CVEs, Snyk is best-in-class. But Snyk's approach has a blind spot: it scans your code and dependencies, not your running application. A web application can have zero dependency vulnerabilities and still be vulnerable to SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), insecure headers, authentication bypasses, and dozens of other OWASP Top 10 issues that exist in your custom code and configuration. Snyk will not catch these because it is scanning package manifests, not testing your live endpoints. Cloudrix SecureScan fills this gap. It is a web application security scanner that tests your live application from the outside, the same way an attacker would. Enter your application URL and SecureScan crawls your site, tests forms, checks headers, validates SSL configuration, and identifies OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities. No agents to install, no code to integrate, no CI pipeline changes. You get a comprehensive security report with prioritized findings, remediation guidance, and a compliance score. The free tier includes 5 scans per month, enough to regularly check your most critical applications. Paid plans add scheduled scanning, API testing, and authenticated scanning for applications behind login forms. SecureScan does not replace Snyk -- it complements it. Snyk catches vulnerable dependencies before deployment; SecureScan catches application-level vulnerabilities in production. Together, they provide comprehensive security coverage. But if you can only choose one and your primary risk is application-level vulnerabilities, SecureScan addresses the more critical attack surface.

Snyk scans your package.json, Dockerfile, and Terraform files for known vulnerabilities. SecureScan tests your live web application for SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, and other OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities. These application-level flaws are responsible for the majority of web application breaches and cannot be detected by dependency scanning alone.
Snyk requires CLI installation, CI pipeline integration, and repository access. SecureScan requires nothing: enter your URL and the scan begins. You get a comprehensive security report in minutes without installing anything, changing your CI pipeline, or granting code access.
SecureScan tests your application the way an attacker would -- from the outside. It finds vulnerabilities that only manifest in the running application: misconfigured servers, exposed admin panels, insecure API endpoints, and broken authentication flows. Snyk's inside-out approach misses these runtime issues.
Snyk charges per developer on paid plans. A 5-developer team pays $260/month for the Team plan. SecureScan charges per workspace: EUR 39/month for 50 scans regardless of how many people on your team run them. Security should not be rationed by developer count.
SecureScan generates reports mapped directly to the OWASP Top 10, making it easy to demonstrate compliance to auditors, clients, and security teams. Each finding includes the OWASP category, risk rating, and specific remediation steps. These reports are ready for compliance documentation without additional formatting.

Try SecureScan FreeNo, they solve different problems. Snyk finds vulnerabilities in your dependencies, containers, and infrastructure code. SecureScan finds vulnerabilities in your live web application. Ideally, you use both: Snyk in your CI pipeline to catch dependency issues before deployment, and SecureScan to test your running application for OWASP vulnerabilities. If budget forces a choice, consider which attack surface poses greater risk to your specific application.
SecureScan uses safe testing techniques that do not modify data or disrupt services. It sends crafted requests to detect vulnerabilities but does not exploit them destructively. We recommend running initial scans against staging environments if you are concerned, then scanning production with confidence.
Yes, on paid plans. SecureScan supports authenticated scanning where you provide login credentials or session tokens. This allows it to test authenticated pages and APIs that anonymous scanning cannot reach. The free tier only supports unauthenticated scanning of public-facing pages.
SecureScan has a false positive rate of approximately 5-8%, which is competitive with commercial web application scanners. Each finding includes confidence level indicators (High, Medium, Low) so your team can prioritize investigation. Critical findings with high confidence are almost always genuine vulnerabilities.
Yes, on the Business plan. You can provide an OpenAPI/Swagger specification and SecureScan will test each API endpoint for injection vulnerabilities, authentication issues, and data exposure. The Pro plan includes basic API testing via URL crawling; the Business plan adds specification-driven testing.
Your dependencies might be clean, but is your live application secure? SecureScan tests what attackers actually target. Start free with 5 scans per month -- enter your URL and get your first security report in minutes.
