We are very pleased to partner with a Modern, Cloud Native, Zero Trust CNAPP innovator like AccuKnox. Zero Trust security is a Clint Health imperative ....
Compelling Reasons to Choose AccuKnox over Orca
Unlike Orca, which lacks critical modules like Inline Prevention, AccuKnox offers a comprehensive Cloud Native Application Security Platform (CNAPP), that ensures 100% prevention from advanced "Zero-Day" attacks. Powered by inline runtime security, AccuKnox stops threats before they happen and takes action at cloud speed.
Capabilities
Industry Standard (eBPF) Based Kernel Telemetry
Inline Security (as opposed to post-attack mitigation)
Industry Standard (LSM) Based Security Enforcement
Community Support
KubeArmor: 500,000+ downloads… 50,000+ a month and growing (global leaders consuming and contributing)
Orca Security is a cloud security platform that does not provide any open source projects, but they do use a number of open source components in their product. Such as OpenSCAP, Falco, AnyVision.
Inventory Management
GCP, Azure, AWS
AWS, Azure, GCP, Alibaba Cloud
Baseline for drift detection
Proactive monitoring of grouped assets with alerts
Also monitors for groups of assets that are at risk of misconfiguration or attack
Benefits
Reduced risk, improved compliance, increased efficiency
Reduced risk, improved compliance, increased efficiency, and the ability to focus security efforts on the most critical areas

Risk Management
Segregation of False Positives, least priority, not applicable vulnerabilities from Active ones
Provides risk acceptance customization for enhanced risk-based vulnerability prioritization and false-positive reduction
Risk Assessment
Images Risk Assessment and Prioritization based on Vulnerabilities
Scans images for known vulnerabilities based on specific languages, packages, image layers. Verifies image signatures against preconfigured keys for image attestation and integrity
Repository Scan
Repo Scan - ECR, GCR, Nexus, DockerHub
ECR, Docker Hub, Docker Trusted Registry, GCR, Google Artifact Registry, ICR, JFrog Artifactory, ACR, Red Hat Quay, Red Hat container registries, Sonatype Nexus, Tenable.io
Remediation
Remediation with auto-ticket creation, bulk-ticketing, comment-analysis on the ticket. Ticketing integration - Jira Cloud/Server, FreshService, ConnectWise
Provides a dashboard highlighting riskiest image vulnerabilities and deployments
Platform
Suse, Debian, Ubuntu, Red Hat, Fedora, Rocky Linux, AWS Raspberry Pi; K8s - on-prem (k3s, microk8s, kubeadm), GKE, AKS, OKE, Bottlerocket, IBM, Graviton, Rancher, Openshift, Oracle Ampere; Vm/BareMetal
Amazon Linux 2 CentOS Debian Garden Linux (Debian 11) Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Ubuntu (AWS, Azure, GCP, and GKE specific versions), VM/Baremetal, Managed or Unmanaged Cluster
Observability
Leveraging eBPF for Deep Observability
System-level data collection using either (eBPF) or a kernel module
Application Behavior
Model app behavior wrt Process execs, File System accesses, Service binds, Ingress, Egress connections
Captures critical system-level events in each container for incident detection
Network Traffic
Visibility of workloads with granular control at Pod Level via App Behavior
Discovers and displays network traffic in all clusters spanning namespaces, deployments, and pods
Automatic Policies
Auto-Discover of Security Policies contextual to the workloads behavior
The default policies have preconfigured parameters and belong to categories such as: Anomalous Activity, Cryptocurrency Mining, DevOps Best Practices, Kubernetes, Network Tools, Package Management, Privileges, Security Best Practices, System Modification, Vulnerability Management
Drift Detection
Dynamically detect change in app behavior & an option to accept or deny that change
Discovers K8s network flow and creates a baseline and can be used to detect anomalous flows based on that
Runtime Enforcement
Leverage LSMs (AppArmor, SELinux, BPF-LSMs) to do enforcement
Inline Mitigation
In-line remediation for Zero Day Attacks such as LSMs leveraged for blocking process before its execution
Hardening
Supports Application Hardening, Kernel Hardening for achieving a robust Zero Trust Model
Uses prebuilt policies to harden application via detect crypto mining, privilege escalation, and various exploits. Dont support Kernel Hardening
Policy Lifecycle Management
Policy Version Control & Customization over time and customization
Telemetry
Alerts & Logs based on violation of Policies and unknown/malicious action with K8s and kernel event context
Network Microsegmentation
Microsegmentation control of the workload
File Integrity Monitoring
Support for FIM
Enterprise Grade Features
Multi Tenancy, RBAC, Audit Trail, MFA, Integration with Notification, Ticketing & SIEM tools
Cluster Benchmarking
Cluster Benchmarking : Kube Bench; Node, Service : Kube Hunter, Cluster & Kube Role : Kube-RBAC
Container Security
Container Security: To be able to secure vulnerabilities in the container image or runtime environment
Runtime Security
Runtime Security: To be able to adapt to application behavior changes and recommend least permissive security policy for security
Deployment
Support for SaaS solution as well as Onprem air-gapped deployment solution Agent - CWPP; Agentless - CSPM
RHACS installs a lightweight version of Scanner on every secured cluster when you install RHACS on the OpenShift.
