What is Code Security Platform?
A consolidated code security product that covers several scanning types, typically SAST, SCA, secrets, IaC and containers, under one risk model.
A code security platform bundles the scanners a security team would otherwise buy separately, and, more importantly, normalises their output into a single severity model, one policy engine and one queue of findings.
The consolidation is the product. Running five point scanners gives you five dashboards, five sets of false positives and no shared idea of which issue matters most. A platform's value is whether it can rank a dependency CVE against a hardcoded secret against a misconfigured Terraform bucket on the same scale.

Every tool in the directory documented as supporting Code Security Platform, with what its own documentation says.
Support is not the same as parity, since some implementations are narrower in scope, gated to a higher plan tier, or maintained only for existing customers. The note under each tool is what its own documentation describes.

What to look for
- Whether findings from different scanners share one severity model, or each scanner keeps its own
- Which scanners are included in the base price versus sold as add-on modules
- Whether the platform can gate a pull request, or only report after the fact
- How much of the noise reduction is automated triage versus your team tuning rules
