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 Prisma Cloud
AccuKnox stands out with Inline Security, LSM-based enforcement, and eBPF-driven observability for deep insights and zero-day prevention. Unlike Prisma, AccuKnox offers open-source community support, robust workflow integrations (e.g., ServiceNow, Splunk, Jira), and file integrity monitoring. Its WAAS, inline remediation, and policy versioning ensure comprehensive data security and runtime protection.
