We went through a very rigorous POC(Proof of Concept) over on extended period of time with a number of best in class vendors and AccuKnox scored high ....
AccuKnox (vs) NeuVector
Compelling Reasons to Choose AccuKnox over NeuVector
AccuKnox delivers Inline Security with industry-standard LSM enforcement, ensuring real-time threat prevention. Unlike NeuVector’s Kubernetes-centric approach, AccuKnox supports all deployment modes, including SaaS and air-gapped on-prem. Its auto-discovered Zero Trust policies, KIEM for identity management, and robust compliance scanning (SAST, DAST, SCA) provide unmatched security for containers, hosts, and VMs.
