Zero Trust CNAPP Platform for Cloud, Application & AI Security

Cloud posture, workloads, Kubernetes, code, APIs, data and AI on one policy engine and one console. Enforcement runs inline at the kernel with eBPF and LSMs, so an unauthorized process, file access or network call is denied before it completes.

Zero Trust Runtime
Security for the AI Era

AccuKnox AI-Security 2.0 takes a principled approach: applying Zero Trust at the AI layer to provide runtime protection, visibility, and identity governance where the exposure actually exists. Organizations serious about moving AI into production will need exactly this kind of infrastructure-level thinking.

12 CNAPP, AppSec, CloudSec, AI-Sec Modules In A Unified Platform

A finding that starts as Terraform stays traceable to a running container and the model it serves. One policy engine, schema, and console let runtime signals deprioritize a CVE static scanning marked critical.

AccuKnox Security Modules
Advanced attacks

Advanced attacks are runtime attacks

Posture alone leaves you open to zero days. The exploit runs long before any scanner runs again.

Split tooling

Split tooling creates the blind spots

Separate AppSec, CloudSec and AISec products cannot correlate a code finding to a running workload.

cloud duplication

On-premise and cloud duplication

Two stacks for one estate roughly doubles tooling cost and the headcount to run it.

Runtime Security: Threat Detection Versus Inline Prevention

Most CNAPP vendors claim runtime security and mean telemetry. eBPF enriches their posture data and ranks CVEs by memory presence. Useful, but not prevention, because the alert fires after the action ran.
Typical CNAPP vendors
lens Runtime as a lens
eBPF → telemetry → alert → manual response
  • eBPF telemetry enriches cloud posture data
  • Prioritizes CVEs by what is loaded in memory
  • Alerts fire after the action executes
  • An analyst decides what happens next

AccuKnox Zero Trust CNAPP

shield

Runtime as a shield

eBPF + LSM → policy → deny or kill, automatically
  • eBPF and Linux Security Modules enforce policy in kernel space
  • Blocks unauthorized fork, execve, file and network calls
  • Denies the syscall before it completes
  • No analyst in the loop for a known-bad action

By 2026, 80% of enterprises will consolidate security tooling to three or fewer vendors.

Validate it during the proof of concept. Run the exploit, then compare which console shows an alert and which shows a denial.

phases

Visibility

Detect misconfiguration and security risk across clouds. Detect compliance posture across 30+ regulations and frameworks.

Automation

Automate the findings lifecycle. Auto-ticket critical issues, auto-alert, and auto-suppress known false positives. Quick insights on the most common and most critical issues. CIEM.

Analytics

Threat analytics on time-series cloud data. AI-assisted remediation.

Connect

Integrate with 10+ CI/CD tools through a workflow file, a plugin, or native IaC integration.

Scan

Enable the full scan set. SAST, DAST, IaC, container and secrets scanning. Work the insights through the ASPM dashboard and findings.

Prioritize

One unified view across pipeline security. Scans trigger on events. Focus shifts to prioritization and automation.

Assess, agentless

VM and Kubernetes risk assessment. KSPM on CronJobs, KIEM identity misconfiguration, cluster misconfigurations, Kubernetes CIS benchmark, in-cluster image scan, rules engine for bulk automation, and SOC 2, STIG and CIS compliance.

Enforce, agent

Zero Trust least permissive posture with the eBPF and LSM agent across Kubernetes, Docker, VMs and bare metal. Admission controller. Policy-driven continuous diagnostics against MITRE, NIST, CIS and PCI file integrity. Cryptojacking defense and secrets manager hardening.

Simulate

Agentless adversarial attack simulation. MITRE Caldera against a Vault deployment, ransomware and secret-theft scenarios, and a cryptominer attack, tested consistently across vendors.

Inventory

AI asset inventory. Agentless detection of LLMs, ML models, datasets and compute across multi-cloud.

Assess

Pre-assessment of models before an AI application is built. Detect issues in models. Prompt security, code, hallucination and sentiment analysis, plus compute, dataset and application issue overviews.

Pipeline security

LLM pipeline security across the AI application lifecycle in cloud or on-premise. Pipeline visibility into training iterations. PII checks on models and datasets. Static and dynamic prompt visibility.

Vulnerabilities

Missing patches, known CVEs, misconfigurations, weak services and exposed ports, outdated packages and compliance gaps.

Malware

Ransomware, trojans, spyware, cryptominers, persistence mechanisms, and malicious binaries or scripts.

Runtime

VM runtime hardening and behavior detection. Monitors behavior, detects attacks, blocks malicious actions and enforces zero trust policy. VM compliance against STIGs, CIS and SOC 2.

Zero Trust Runtime Security Journey in Eight Steps

Cluster onboarding to kernel-level block mode, with an audit period so enforcement never breaks a running workload.

1

Onboard cluster

Connect your Kubernetes cluster to the AccuKnox control plane.

2

Discover default posture

Baseline every container in every namespace. Golden baseline on day one, day two onward captures cron jobs.

3

Recommended hardening policies

Cluster-wide policies mapped to CIS, MITRE, NIST and STIGs.

4

Activate hardening policies

Continuous diagnostics and mitigation on violations, still in audit mode.

5

Keep learning behavior

Review per-container changes and accept or discard each one. Audit runs two to three weeks.

6

Behavior marked stable

No significant change over a sustained period, so policies move to stable.

7

Enforce in block mode

Allow known and approved behavior. Deny everything else.

8

Zero Trust enforced

Unknown malware and unseen signatures are auto-denied, because only least permissive behavior runs.

MonitorAppBehaviour

Application behavior monitoring feeds auto policy discovery

Platform FAQs

AccuKnox Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) tool scans the cloud account to analyze vulnerabilities and misconfigurations present in the cloud infrastructure based on security best practices & benchmarks.
AccuKnox can help you with handling and prioritizing vulnerabilities
With the ability to mark false positives, wait for third-party or accepted risk, and many more, you get to act on findings that are remediable and contain the SLA.
AccuKnox provides comprehensive compliance reports based on various security governance for third-party assessment operators (3PAO) auditing.
In the static security solution, unlike other CSPM tools, AccuKnox provides the flexibility to integrate a variety of open source and commercial security scanning tools through built-in parsers to provide you with a composite security posture of your infrastructure. We also correlate and normalize results from a variety of security scanning tools and provide detailed results of vulnerabilities across the infrastructure.
Hardening Policies:
These are block-based policies. Using these policies is suggested based on a compliance framework. and they help to harden the workload against known attacks. Workload hardening and file integrity monitoring can also be implemented using these policies.
Behavioral Policies: These are allow-based policies and are generated according to application behavior. They create a zero-trust environment for the workload. Using these policies you can implement network micro segmentation and zero trust.
AccuKnox provides the flexibility to integrate a variety of open source and commercial security scanning tools through built-in parsers to provide you with a composite security posture of your infrastructure. This is mainly applied in the following context:
Remove dependencies and scoped results Removing dependencies and scoping results from one tool helps in gaining a contextual understanding of vulnerabilities and prioritization based on which AccuKnox (i) correlates and normalizes results from a variety of security scanning tools and (ii) provides detailed results of vulnerabilities across your cloud infrastructure.
AccuKnox supports the following types of workloads:
K8s orchestrated workloads: KubeArmor is deployed as a K8s daemonset when workloads are deployed as K8s orchestrated containers.
VM/Bare-Metals workloads: KubeArmor is deployed in system-deemed mode when workloads are deployed on Virtual Machines or Bare Metal i.e. workloads are directly operating as host processes.
