How Vulnetix compares: better together
Vulnetix does not replace OWASP ZAP. Keep running it. Vulnetix sits on top of OWASP ZAP (and every other scanner you already own) turning disconnected tool outputs into one prioritised, fixable queue.
OWASP ZAP is strongest at its core category and also carries features in Network & Vulnerability Scanners, just as Vulnetix spans categories.
| Capability | Vulnetix | OWASP ZAP |
|---|---|---|
| Security coverage | ||
| SAST (static code analysis) | ✓ Built-in rules + Semgrep augmentation | ✗ |
| SCA / dependencies | ✓ 40+ ecosystems, transitive graph | ✗ |
| DAST (dynamic testing) | ~ Ingests DAST results; no native dynamic engine | ✓ Core: passive + active dynamic scanning of running web apps and APIs |
| Container & image | ✓ Image CVEs, base image, Dockerfile | ✗ |
| IaC / misconfiguration | ✓ Terraform, k8s, CloudFormation | ✗ |
| Secret scanning | ✓ 1,000+ rules, source + binary + git history | ✗ |
| Cloud / CSPM | ✓ Cloud-posture findings, compliance tab | ✗ |
| Mobile (MAST) | ~ Ingests mobile scanner output; no native mobile engine | ✗ |
| License compliance | ✓ SPDX, copyleft/AGPL/SSPL policy | ✗ |
| SBOM generation | ✓ CycloneDX 1.7 + SPDX 2.3, cosign-signable | ✗ |
| Malware / supply-chain | ✓ De-duplicated corpus + install-time firewall (25+ registries) | ✗ |
| Network / infra vuln | ~ Ingests network scanner output; no native network scanner | ~ Tests running services over HTTP(S); some TLS/header/service-level checks, not an infra CVE scanner |
| Fuzzing | ✗ Ingests fuzzing crashes; no native fuzzer | ✗ |
| Pentest / bug bounty | ✗ Ingests pentest/bug-bounty findings; not a testing service | ✗ |

What OWASP ZAP does well
- The most widely-used open-source DAST proxy: passive scanner plus active scanner that fires real attack payloads (SQLi, XSS, etc.) at discovered endpoints
- Strong crawling with a traditional spider plus an AJAX spider that drives a headless browser for JavaScript-heavy single-page apps
- Broad authentication support (form-based, script, JSON, HTTP/NTLM, token, OAuth) enabling authenticated scans of real apps
- YAML Automation Framework and full REST API for CI/CD-as-code DAST, with REST/GraphQL/SOAP API scanning and SARIF output
Where Vulnetix adds to it: ZAP is a true DAST engine that actively exercises a running application. Vulnetix has NO native DAST and does not run these dynamic tests itself. The relationship is strictly better-together: Vulnetix ingests ZAP's DAST output (e.g. SARIF), deduplicates it against SAST/SCA/container/secret findings into one prioritised queue, and layers exploit-intel (EPSS/KEV/ESS/CWSS/LEV), reachability, SSVC and versioned VEX on top. ZAP remains the tool that performs the actual dynamic testing.
No migration, no rip-and-replace. OWASP ZAP keeps doing what it does best; Vulnetix adds the orchestration, exploit-intelligence prioritisation and remediation layer built for the way AppSec works today.
Centralise OWASP ZAP results in Vulnetix
Upload OWASP ZAP SARIF output to the Vulnetix platform to deduplicate findings, prioritise them with EPSS, CISA KEV and Coalition ESS exploit intelligence, and track remediation across every scanner in a single queue.
