What you are evaluating
Discovery coverage of the actual toolchain, and whether ASPM works without ripping out existing scanners, are the evaluation surface. Secrets beyond git and CI/CD posture checks need authorized access to those systems. VibeGuard is vendor-described until tested in the team's own agentic workflow.
A useful evaluation context
A plausible evaluation context is a team with several scanners and an uneven toolchain map that wants ASPM and SDLC discovery without immediately replacing those scanners.
Documented capabilities
The vendor describes these capabilities in the linked sources. Availability depends on the product edition and supported environment.
- Software-development-lifecycle discovery and ASPM correlation of native or ingested SAST and SCA results.
- Secrets detection beyond git, plus continuous-integration and delivery posture checks.
- SBOM production and vendor-described VibeGuard guardrails for artificial-intelligence assisted development environments.
Where it fits in the work
- Authorize discovery against the lab toolchain only: source control, CI, artifact stores, and developer environments you own.
- Ingest existing scanner results if the point is to keep engines, then confirm owners and policies land in one backlog.
- If VibeGuard or similar guardrails are tested, apply them to a lab coding-assistant workflow with an approved nonfunctional secret test pattern or configured synthetic rule and lab packages, not production agents or real credentials.
APPLY THE IDEA / ILLUSTRATIVE EXERCISE
Make the outcome observable.
Connect an authorized lab Git organization, CI project, and scanner output. Add a known lab CI job and an ingested SAST finding; where a ticket-store integration supports it, add only an approved nonfunctional secret test pattern or configured synthetic rule.
Evidence to look for
The map accounts for the known lab CI job or records a discovery gap, and ingested findings retain their source. Check secret-pattern support and validity behavior explicitly; arbitrary fake credentials need not be reported.
Use synthetic data and an authorized test environment. Agree the scope and recovery steps before enabling enforcement.
Questions for your evaluation
- Which of the actual source-control, CI, and artifact systems are discovered, and which remain invisible?
- Can ASPM operate on ingested scanners, or does value depend on replacing them?
- What does VibeGuard enforce in this team's artificial-intelligence IDE or agent workflow, as demonstrated rather than marketed?
