Document 1

AI-era SSDLC & tool coverage map

  • 10 SSDLC phases mapped to NIST SSDF/SP 800-218A, AI RMF, CISA and OWASP.
  • 69 coverage capabilities across 10 domains, tagged new vs extend, maturity and priority.
Document 2

Adversarial testing: requirements & vendors

  • 11 use cases, 48 traceable requirements.
  • Vendor landscape after 2024–2026 acquisitions; bake-off shortlist; 10 market gaps.
Document 3

Vendor demo agenda

  • 2-hour scripted session on an internal demo target.
  • Question bank traced to requirements; weighted rubric with an advance-to-POC threshold.
Document 4

POC test plan & success criteria

  • 5-week blind bake-off against an OSS control group, scored by internal oracles.
  • 30 test cases, 15 success criteria, weighted scorecard, decision rule.

Key findings

  • P1 new-spend capabilities fall mostly in coverage-map domains A, C, G and H: IDE extensions, packages, coding-agent configuration, CI agents and MCP servers.
  • Adversarial testing is rated P1 and mapped to the release gate.
  • 14 vendors in the adversarial testing category were acquired between August 2024 and September 2026.
  • Vendor groups in the landscape: independents (Pillar, Straiker, Mindgard) and platform modules (Palo Alto, Zscaler, F5, Cisco, Check Point).
  • Evaluation design: four-vendor bake-off plus an OSS control group (promptfoo + PyRIT) run against internal seeded, oracle-instrumented targets.
  • Gap observed across reviewed products: no product tests agent tool side effects or tool/permission coverage with deterministic oracles and replay.

Method

  • Framework statuses, vendor ownership and incident details checked against primary sources (NIST CSRC, CISA, OWASP, vendor press releases) and trade press (SecurityWeek, Dark Reading, Help Net Security, CSA research notes) as of October 2, 2026.
  • Items found in a single secondary source only are flagged in the documents.
  • Each document lists its sources.
