Compare Blacksmith vs. OX Security

Enhance the efficiency of your GitHub Actions with a simple one-line modification by utilizing high-performance gaming CPUs, which surpass GitHub's conventional server infrastructure. Our high-performance gaming CPUs are specifically designed to accelerate CI workloads, enabling quicker task execution. The cache is strategically positioned alongside the virtual machines, ensuring that read and write operations for your CI tasks are four times faster. Speed up your Docker image builds by taking advantage of robust machines with cached Docker layers situated close to your container registry. Additionally, Blacksmith provides seamless analytics for your GitHub Action pipelines without any extra fees, granting you unparalleled insights into your expenditure and runtime patterns across your CI environment. It's crucial to monitor cache hits to confirm that your workflows are effectively using caching, and you can easily remove any unnecessary cache entries directly from your dashboard. Furthermore, Blacksmith operates jobs in dedicated virtual machines that utilize bare metal for improved performance, while single-use GitHub access tokens are generated for each job execution, enhancing security and efficiency. This combination of features ensures that your CI processes are optimized for both speed and reliability.

Efficiently eliminate risks that may be introduced into the workflow while safeguarding the integrity of each task, all from one centralized platform. Gain comprehensive visibility and complete traceability of your software pipeline's security, spanning from the cloud to the code. Oversee your identified issues, coordinate DevSecOps initiatives, mitigate risks, and uphold the integrity of the software pipeline from a single dashboard. Address threats based on their urgency and the context of the business. Automatically intercept vulnerabilities that could seep into your pipeline. Swiftly pinpoint the appropriate personnel to take necessary action against any identified security threats. Steer clear of established security vulnerabilities such as Log4j and Codecov, while also thwarting emerging attack vectors informed by proprietary research and threat intelligence. Identify anomalies, including those similar to GitBleed, and guarantee the security and integrity of all cloud artifacts. Conduct thorough security gap analyses to uncover any potential blind spots, along with automated discovery and mapping of all applications, ensuring a robust security posture across the board. This holistic approach enables organizations to preemptively address security challenges before they escalate.
