Legit Security is an AI-native ASPM platform that provides end-to-end software supply chain protection. The platform discovers and maps the entire software development lifecycle, continuously inventories assets and security controls, and surfaces risks for remediation across 100+ integrations.
Acquired by Veracode, Legit Security is recognized as a leader in application security posture management, serving Fortune 500 organizations that need visibility across complex development environments with hundreds of pipelines and thousands of developers.
What is Legit Security?
Legit addresses a gap that most security tools leave open: the space between code and production. Rather than focusing on a single testing technique, the platform maps the entire software delivery process and identifies risks at every stage.
The platform starts at the developer endpoint where AI code is generated and extends through to production, combining code-level analysis with workflow orchestration.
Key features
Code-to-cloud coverage
Legit provides visibility across the entire software delivery chain:
| Stage | What Legit monitors |
|---|---|
| Development | Developer tools, AI code assistants, IDE plugins |
| Source code | Repositories, branches, pull requests, code changes |
| Build | CI/CD pipelines, build configurations, artifact integrity |
| Test | Security scanning results, policy compliance, quality gates |
| Deploy | Deployment targets, environment configurations, release gates |
| Production | Runtime posture, drift detection, material changes |
This coverage means security teams see what happens at every stage rather than just scanning code in isolation.
CI/CD pipeline security
Legit continuously monitors CI/CD pipelines to detect misconfigurations and insecure setups that could enable supply chain attacks:
- Detects overprivileged service accounts and tokens
- Identifies missing branch protection rules
- Flags unsigned commits and artifacts
- Monitors for dependency confusion risks
- Alerts on pipeline injection vulnerabilities
AI code security
As organizations adopt AI coding assistants, Legit provides guardrails:
- Discovers which AI tools developers are using (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude)
- Identifies AI-generated code in pull requests
- Enforces policies on AI code usage
- Integrates via MCP server to bring ASPM context directly into AI-assisted development
- Ensures AI-generated code goes through the same security testing as human-written code
Native scanning
Legit includes built-in scanning capabilities alongside its aggregation features:
| Scan type | Coverage |
|---|---|
| SAST | Static analysis across major languages |
| SCA | Open source dependency vulnerability detection |
| Secrets | AI-powered detection of credentials, API keys, tokens, and certificates across the SDLC |
Organizations can use Legit’s native scanners, integrate existing third-party tools, or run both.
Risk scoring with business context
Legit’s AI-powered risk scoring goes beyond CVSS severity. The platform factors in application criticality, internet exposure, data sensitivity, compensating controls, and exploitability to produce risk scores that reflect actual business impact.

When to use Legit Security
Legit Security fits organizations that need visibility and control across the entire software supply chain, not just code scanning. If your development environment spans hundreds of repositories, dozens of pipelines, and multiple cloud targets, Legit maps and secures that complexity.
If you need pure aggregation without native scanning, ArmorCode or OX Security focus on that model. If pipeline security is less of a concern and you want lighter-weight ASPM, Aikido covers the basics at smaller scale.
