AccuKnox CSPM & CWPP | Cloud Security Features

As organizations accelerate their move to the cloud, security teams are under immense pressure to manage complex, dynamic workloads while defending against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. At AccuKnox, we deliver a robust suite of cloud security features through our Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) and Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP) solutions—offering the most comprehensive, zero trust-enabled protection available today.

Solving Modern Cloud Security Challenges

Cyberattacks like Log4j and SolarWinds have revealed critical gaps in how enterprises manage cloud infrastructure and workloads. These breaches exploit vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and insufficient runtime protections. AccuKnox directly addresses these issues with a platform built on deep tech innovation—including 15+ patents—and research partnerships with Stanford Research Institute (SRI).

Our platform helps enterprises implement Zero Trust security in three clear steps:

1. CSPM to identify and fix known vulnerabilities
2. Advanced runtime protection to defend against unknown threats
3. Automated policy enforcement to support continuous compliance

Powerful Cloud Security Features in CSPM

Our CSPM solution provides full visibility into your cloud assets, including their configuration, exposure, and associated risks. Because “you can’t secure what you don’t see,” AccuKnox delivers a detailed inventory of assets with real-time risk assessment.

Key Features Include:

• Asset Discovery & Risk Analysis: See every asset and its security posture.
• S3 Bucket Monitoring: Detect public exposure and misconfigurations.
• Customizable Playbooks: Automate security workflows tailored to your processes.
• Integration Flexibility: Connect to your preferred ticketing systems and security data lakes.
• Continuous Compliance Dashboard: View compliance status across frameworks like PCI-DSS and NIST.
• Auditor Collaboration: Share security baselines, exceptions, and history with third-party auditors.
• Detailed Reporting: Generate reports for stakeholders like CIOs, CFOs, and regulators using a wide variety of supported data sources.

These CSPM capabilities allow teams to catch misconfigurations before they’re exploited, ensuring that cloud security posture remains strong and transparent.

Runtime Protection with CWPP

Where CSPM ends, CWPP begins—bringing advanced protection to workloads as they operate in real time. Our runtime security platform is designed to guard against zero-day attacks, privilege escalations, and lateral movement inside cloud environments.

Core CWPP Features:

• Application and Network Visibility: Monitor at L3, L4, and L7 layers.
• Auto-Generated Zero Trust Policies: Enforce least privilege at the application level.
• Microsegmentation & App Firewalling: Isolate services and block unauthorized access.
• CI/CD Pipeline Integration: Automatically scan new assets as they’re deployed.
• AI/ML-Based Anomaly Detection: Identify behavioral deviations using models built in collaboration with Stanford.
• Native Integrations: Seamlessly export telemetry to tools like Splunk, Prometheus, Grafana, and Elastic.
• Support for Diverse Workloads: Kubernetes, VMs, IoT, 5G—whether modern or legacy, AccuKnox adapts.

These cloud security features are designed to protect against active threats in real time while maintaining operational efficiency.

Open Source and Community Commitment

At the heart of our CWPP offering is KubeArmor, our open-source Kubernetes runtime security solution, which has seen over 180,000 downloads. This reflects our commitment to transparency, collaboration, and adoption by the security community.
