Beam vs LEGIT SECURITY
Beam vs VibeGuard 2.0
Legit VibeGuard 2.0 folds agent monitoring, skill discovery, MCP checks and blocking into Legit Security's application security platform, aimed at Fortune 500 rollouts. It has enforcement that Beam does not. Beam is a standalone, local-first prototype with pre-run scanning and no platform to adopt around it.
Beam vs VibeGuard 2.0, side by side
Details below are drawn from a September 2026 review of the AI agent security market. Some figures are vendor-sourced or analyst estimates, and this is a fast-moving space — check with each vendor before you buy.
| Beam | VibeGuard 2.0 (Legit Security) | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Local-first activity monitor and pre-run scanner for AI coding agents. Early prototype. | Enterprise agent and vibe-coding security, part of a wider AppSec platform. |
| Monitoring | Shell commands, file changes, tool calls, network endpoints and browser actions from harnesses such as Claude Code, Codex and Cursor, normalised into local NDJSON with risk flags and evidence attached. | Agent commands and tool calls, with skill discovery and MCP security checks in the same product. |
| Skill / MCP scanning | Yes. SKILL.md files and MCP configurations are scanned before you run them, using 11 heuristic patterns plus an MCP version-pin check. | Yes. Skill discovery and MCP security checks are core parts of the product. |
| Blocking / enforcement | No. Beam observes and flags. It never allows or denies an action. | Yes. Blocks dangerous operations. |
| Individual use | Runs locally for one person on one machine. Shared teams, fleet rollout and approvals are not built yet. | None listed. Aimed at Fortune 500 rollouts. |
| Deployment | A local collector plus a local interface. No MDM package, no central console, no SSO, no SOC 2, no SIEM forwarding. | Enterprise deployment as part of Legit Security's application security platform. |
| Source / licence | Not open source today. | Commercial, not open source. |
| Pricing | Not published. | Enterprise, no public price. |

Where VibeGuard 2.0 does more
- Blocking is available now, not on a roadmap.
- Skill discovery and MCP security are first-class parts of the product, already at v2 as of August 3, 2026.
- Backed by an established application security vendor with existing enterprise relationships.
Where Beam differs
- Beam is a single-purpose agent monitor rather than a module inside a broader AppSec platform, so there is nothing else to adopt.
- Beam's scan runs locally on a file you point it at, before you run it.
- Beam keeps its data on the machine that produced it, with credentials redacted before writing.
Beam’s current gaps
- Beam observes and flags. It has no blocking or enforcement, so it cannot stop a destructive command.
- There is no MDM package, central console, SSO or SOC 2 report, so it is not ready for a managed fleet rollout.
- Scanning is heuristic pattern matching. It produces false positives, misses novel phrasing, and is not a guarantee of safety.
- Beam is early and has no published pricing. Every tool on this page is further along in at least one dimension.
Which one fits
If you are already a Legit Security customer or want agent security inside your AppSec platform, VibeGuard is the natural fit and ships enforcement today. Beam fits a smaller question: what is the agent on this machine doing, and is this skill safe to run.
FAQ
Does VibeGuard block dangerous operations?
Yes. VibeGuard blocks dangerous operations. Beam v1 observes and flags but does not block.
Is there an individual developer tier of VibeGuard?
