Ketchup vs Snyk: Lists of Vulnerabilities vs The Security Narrative
Ketchup vs Snyk: Lists vs Narratives
Snyk (and SonarQube, Dependabot) are essential tools. They are the metal detectors of code. But they are noisy. A typical enterprise repo has 500+ open "Low Severity" alerts.
When you are about to ship a release, the CEO doesn't want a list of 500 CVEs. They want to know: "Are we safer than last week?"
| Feature | Snyk / SonarQube | Ketchup |
|---|---|---|
| Output | List of Alerts | Release Risk Score |
| Context | Single File / Dependency | Entire Release Context |
| Audience | SecOps / Devs | CTO / VP Eng |
| Action | "Patch this lib" | "Go / No-Go Decision" |
The "Boy Who Cried Wolf"
When everything is an alert, nothing is. Ketchup's Deep Dive engine filters the noise. We look for New Risks introduced in this specific release.
"This release fixes 3 Critical CVEs but introduces 1 High Risk vulnerability in the payment module."
This is a narrative. This is actionable intelligence.
Defense in Depth
Keep using Snyk to find the bugs. Use Ketchup to communicate the risk posture to stakeholders.
