Parameters
Application Security Coverage
Registry scan (ECR, GCR, Nexus, Docker Hub, ACR, Harbor, Quay, jFrog, OpenShift, GAR)
Registry scanning is supported
Identify 3rd Party dependencies and their vulnerabilities (SCA), scan for vulnerability in code (SAST) and evaluate applications for vulnerabilities (DAST)
Provides SCA and SAST capabilities
Integrate with CI/CD for detecting secret leakage and Shift Left Automation with Prioritization
Secret scanning is supported and scanner integration into the CI CD pipeline is supported
Observability & Remediation
Application Behavior Analysis - Provides deep observability by leveraging eBPF
Uses eBPF-based technology for observability
Auto generation of policies based on the activity discovered inside containers to prevent anything that deviates from it
Uses rules that can be customized as per the requirements
Graphical view of identities in Kubernetes with customizable queries to define least permissive posture
Does not provide insights into the identities that are used inside Kubernetes
Hardening and Prevention
Provides policies that harden the workloads and prevents violations before they happen
Uses runtime detection rules for risk discovery and requires action to be taken based on it
Zero day attack protection by defining the least permissive posture of the application. This will prevent any new activity that is unexpected in the application
Helps with zero-day preparedness by suggesting best practices and identifying malicious behavior
Proactive prevention of attacks using admission controllers and policies to deny access at the kernel layer using LSMs
Prevents deployment of vulnerable images but uses a detect and respond model at real time
Deployment Models
Air-gapped and OnPrem Support
Does not support deployment in On Premise environment
Agent based protection and Agentless scanning support
Agentless first, supports agents for runtime security
Support for Hybrid environment of On Prem + Cloud
Provides security for only cloud environments
Open vs Proprietary
Uses KubeArmor - An open source CNCF Sandbox project
Orca uses patented sidescanning technology and proprietary agents
Ingests findings from open source tools
Has open sourced a few tools inside the platform but does not ingest from others
Integrations
Integrates with both Open source and Proprietary tools for security
Integrates with proprietary tools only
Future Proof Security
5G and IoT/Edge Security
Does not provide a specailized module for 5G and IoT security
Only CNAPP with out of the box Kubernetes Security via Posture Management (KSPM) & Identity Management (KIEM)
Supports Kubernetes Security
AI Security with ModelKnox (AI-SPM)
AI-SPM module to provide security for AI
