Registry scan (ECR, GCR, Nexus, Docker Hub, ACR, Harbor, Quay, jFrog, OpenShift, GAR.)
Supports registry scanning
Identify 3rd Party Dependencies and their Vulnerabilities (SCA), Scan for Vulnerability in Code (SAST), IaC and Evaluate Applications for Vulnerabilities (DAST)
Cannot perform deep analysis of statis code and lacks the ability to perform DAST.
Integrate with CI/CD for Shift Left Automation with Prioritization
Limited CI/CD Integrations Reference
Observability & Remediation
Point in time scans for cloud configuration. Realtime visibility os in Roadmap
Realtime scanning of cloud accounts is supported
eBPF based Observability and Inline Remediation at real time for Workloads
Only eBPF based observability is supported
Visibility of identities and workloads on Kubernetes as a graph via KIEM
Not supported
Hardening and Prevention
Hardening policies based on MITRE, NIST Frameworks to reduce the attack surface
Helps in detecting policy violations but does not provide inline protection
Auto generate zero trust policies to allow only the expected behavior of the application while denying everything else
Supports policies to identify malicious activity but performs remediations after the rule violation is detected
Allows performing tests on the application dynamically and reporting of activities by the application in the CI/CD and prevent deployment if issues are identified
Performs only static analysis of the application
Deployment Models
Air gapped and OnPrem Support
Supports On Prem deployment
Integrations
Integrate with 3rd party scanning tools to provide additional context and stitch all the findings together in one place
Does not integrate with other open source or commercial scanners that maybe already available. Cannot extend capabilities via integrations
