AccuKnox Zero Trust CNAPP Joins NVIDIA Inception Program

Menlo Park, CA – July 19, 2024 – AccuKnox, Inc., a leading provider of Zero Trust CNAPP (Cloud Native Application Protection Platform), announced that it has joined the prestigious NVIDIA Inception Program. This membership provides AccuKnox with valuable resources and tools to enhance their offerings and services.

As a member of the NVIDIA inception program, AccuKnox plans to leverage NVIDIA’s AI platform to further strengthen its CNAPP capabilities. The program offers resources that will help AccuKnox optimize its security solutions, accelerate development, and enhance performance. This partnership enables AccuKnox to stay at the forefront of innovation, ensuring that our customers receive the most advanced and secure cloud-native protection available. 

AccuKnox’s Zero Trust Cloud Native Security Platform is designed to enhance the capabilities of Infrastructure Security and DevSecOps teams by empowering them to detect, prioritize, prevent, and protect against potential cloud attacks. The platform combines:

• CSPM (Cloud Security Posture Management)
• ASPM (Application Security Posture Management)
• KIEM (Kubernetes Identity and Entitlement Management)
• KSPM (Kubernetes Security Posture Management)
• CWPP (Cloud Workload Protection Platform) 
• GRC (Governance Risk and Compliance)

This platform secures modern Kubernetes and traditional Virtual Machine workloads; streamlines vulnerability triage, minimizes alert fatigue problems,  and delivers inline security capabilities [as opposed to post-attack mitigation].

Use Cases

• Securing Mission-Critical Workloads like Vault
• Securing AI workbenches like Jupyter Notebooks
• Securing AI/LLM Model workloads
• Automated Zero Trust Cloud Security (Public, Private, Hybrid, Air-gapped)
• Vulnerability Management & Prioritization
• Run-time security, Micro-segmentation
• Application Firewalling, Kernel Hardening
• Drift Detection & Audit Trail
• Continuous Diagnostics & Mitigation
• GRC – CIS, HIPAA, GDPR, SOC2, STIG, MITRE, NIST compliance

Key Differentiators

• Multi-Cloud, Private, Air-gapped Cloud Security
• Inline Security (as opposed to Post-attack security)
• Powered by KubeArmor Open Source Project – a CNCF OpenSource project, delivers in-line run-time security and has achieved 1 Million+ downloads, 1.3k+ GitHub stars
• Secures modern workloads (Kubernetes) and traditional workloads (VMs)
• Dynamic checks in CI pipeline (DAST, SAST, SCA)
• Secures AI/ML workloads like Jupyter Notebooks
