Checkov and Snyk scan infrastructure-as-code for misconfigurations and vulnerabilities. Brigs scans agent framework configs — not just IaC — generates remediation PRs instead of just blocking, and produces governance evidence instead of just alerts.

Checkov detects a public S3 bucket in Terraform. Brigs detects whether your LangChain agent has an explicit tool allowlist. Different scopes, different risks.
Brigs generates verified remediation PRs that fix governance issues. Checkov and Snyk block deployments or generate alerts requiring manual action.
Brigs maps findings to OWASP Agentic, EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, and SOC 2. Checkov maps to CIS benchmarks and traditional compliance frameworks.
Brigs includes foundational IaC checks but specializes in agent governance — the layer that Checkov and Snyk don't cover at all.
No — Brigs includes foundational IaC checks but specializes in agent governance. Checkov excels at deep infrastructure-as-code scanning against CIS benchmarks. Teams deploying AI agents benefit from both: Checkov for IaC, Brigs for agent governance.
Yes — Brigs includes foundational controls that scan Terraform and other IaC configurations. However, agent governance controls are the primary focus: tool allowlists, MCP server configs, agent permissions, and framework-specific evaluations.
Agent framework configurations (Claude Code, LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen), MCP servers and their permission configs, tool allowlists, agent permissions, and agent-specific governance controls mapped to OWASP Agentic Top 10, EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, and SOC 2.
