Last reviewed: October 2026

  • Offense that proves risk
  • Whole-environment SOC
  • Human approval on every action
Executive summary

The short version

Choose Secure.com if you want AI Teammates that attack to prove what an attacker reaches, fix it under approval, and respond to live threats as well.

Key finding

ArmorCode unifies findings from 400+ security tools and puts Anya AI agents to work on them, researching exploitability, prioritizing fixes, planning patch rollouts, and deploying compensating controls within bounds you set. Secure.com is a team of AI Teammates across offense and defense. The Red Teammate actively exploits to prove what an attacker reaches, and the AppSec, Cloud, and SOC Teammates fix and respond across your tools, every consequential action under your approval. In Secure.com's buyer research, grunt work surfaced in 10 of 14 interviews.

Your team sets the rules. The Teammate works inside them.

Who each option is for

Choose Secure.com if

  • You want offense that actively exploits to prove risk, not exploitability judged from scanner findings.
  • You want one team across offense and defense, including a SOC Teammate for live alerts.
  • You want fixes retested by attacking again, every consequential action under your approval.

Choose ArmorCode if

  • You run many scanners and want findings from 400+ tools correlated, deduplicated, and prioritized.
  • You want AI agents that research exploitability, plan patches, and deploy compensating controls.
  • You want ASPM, vulnerability management, supply chain, and AI exposure on one independent platform.
Why the category falls short

Why correlating findings isn't the whole picture

Unifying findings from hundreds of tools and cutting the noise is a genuine advantage, and ArmorCode does it at scale. But a control plane works on what your scanners report, and proving what an attacker reaches is a different job. The gaps show up fast.

  • Findings in, not attacks out.

    Correlation depends on the scanners you already run. Nothing in the loop attacks your environment to find what those scanners missed.

  • Exploitability judged, not proven.

    Agents can assess whether a CVE is exploitable in your context. They do not actively exploit it to prove what an attacker reaches.

  • Exposure stops at the SOC.

    Exposure management works on vulnerabilities. Live alerts across endpoints, identities, and SIEM still need a team to triage them.

  • Closed is not the same as proven.

    A finding marked fixed shows the work was done. Attacking it again shows the attacker path is actually gone.

AI Teammates attack your defenses, harden what they find, and hand your team back hundreds of hours every month.

The difference in practice

What gaps Secure.com fills

  1. Active exploitation, not assessed exploitability

    The Red Teammate exploits to prove what an attacker actually reaches. ArmorCode's agents assess exploitability from findings and context.

  2. Finds what scanners miss

    The Red Teammate attacks your environment the way an adversary would. ArmorCode works on findings from the tools you connect.

  3. Retest by attacking again

    After a fix, the Red Teammate attacks again to prove the path is closed. ArmorCode tracks remediation through workflows and reporting.

  4. A live SOC on the same context

    The SOC Teammate triages and responds to alerts across your stack. ArmorCode focuses on vulnerabilities and exposure, not alert response.

  5. One team across offense and defense

    The Red, AppSec, Cloud, and SOC Teammates act on shared context. ArmorCode's agents work across vulnerability and exposure data.

Use caseSecure.com (AI Teammates)ArmorCode
Finding correlationThe Teammates act on findings from the tools you already run.Yes. Correlating findings from 400+ tools is its core.
Vulnerability prioritizationPrioritized by what the Red Teammate proves is reachable.Yes. Risk scoring through its Context Risk Graph.
Offensive validationYes. The Red Teammate actively exploits to prove real risk.Exploitability assessment, not active exploitation.
Retest after fixYes. The Red Teammate attacks again to prove the fix holds.Remediation tracking through workflows.
SOC alert responseYes. The SOC Teammate triages and responds across your stack.Not its focus; it works on vulnerabilities and exposure.
Governed executionYes. Executes remediation and response behind an approval gate.Yes. People approve exceptions and remediations.

Add the team without rebuilding your stack

You don't replace your AppSec program to start. You add one Teammate to the tools you already run and expand only once it earns the next step.

  1. Find the right starting point

    A security context discovery maps your environment and recommends the first Teammate to deploy.

  2. Reach first value with experts

    Expert Activation configures and tunes the first Teammate against a guaranteed time to value.

  3. Keep your stack

    200+ integrations mean no rip and replace of the SIEM, EDR, IAM, or cloud tools you already run.

  4. Expand when ready

    Add Teammates across offense and defense as trust and ROI are established.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Secure.com's AppSec Teammate act without human approval?
No. Every consequential action passes an approval gate you configure before it runs. Lower risk work proceeds within the policy you set. Nothing executes on the Teammate's judgment alone, and every action is logged.
How is this different from an exposure management platform?
An exposure management platform correlates and prioritizes findings from your scanners, and some now remediate with AI agents. Secure.com actively exploits to prove what an attacker reaches, retests by attacking again, and adds a SOC Teammate, under the approval rules you set.
Do we have to replace our current tools?
No. Secure.com sits above your existing stack through 200+ integrations across SIEM, EDR, IAM, cloud, and ticketing. You start with one Teammate on the tools you already run.
