AccuKnox is the best example of how to achieve NIST & MITRE conformance out-of-the-box. The team has done a great job of simplifying security concepts ....
Compelling Reasons to Choose AccuKnox over SentinelOne
Unlike SentinelOne, 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)
Provides only detection capabilities
Industry Standard (LSM) Based Security Enforcement
Focused on real-time detection rather than mitigation
