AccuKnox vs Uptycs CNAPP

AccuKnox is a Zero Trust Security platform covering AI, API, application, cloud, and supply chain security. It provides visibility, inline enforcement, and automated policy discovery across kernel, data, API, and application layers. For runtime security, eBPF telemetry reports processes, system calls, and traffic, while Linux Security Modules enforce kernel-level denies. Deployment options include agentless, customer-hosted cloud, on-premise, and fully air-gapped models. Listed environments include AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle, OpenStack, OpenShift, VMware, and Nutanix, with additional cloud platforms also listed. AccuKnox says it supports continuous compliance across more than 45 frameworks, including SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, GDPR, and FedRAMP. Integrations include tools for service management, logging, code hosting, messaging, and incident response, such as Jira, ServiceNow, Splunk, GitHub, Slack, and PagerDuty. Linux, self-hosted, and web are listed platforms. The pricing note lists a free plan and 30-day trial, while pricing is on request; custom pricing depends on the customer’s environment.

Uptycs CNAPP provides risk visibility, protection, and prevention for hybrid cloud workloads from build time through runtime. It combines continuous workload scanning, agentless scans, and eBPF runtime insights to catalog software across assets. Workload risk scores connect attack paths and runtime threats with context such as committed code. Build-time scanning covers AMIs, images, infrastructure as code, and code repositories, including alerts for third-party dependency vulnerabilities. Uptycs says runtime defenses can stop threats such as cryptominers and reverse shells in real time, with customized FIM and YARA policies. Investigations can draw on Attack Path, Ask Uptycs, Unified Threat Hunting, Juno AI Analyst, and historical or real-time queries. Listed out-of-the-box compliance reports cover SOC 2, CIS, PCI DSS, HITRUST, NIST, DISA, ISO, and FedRAMP. It supports AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Pricing starts at $36 a year for Discover — Workload, equivalent to $3.00/month billed annually, but the minimum order is $12K per year. Workload units support up to 8 processing cores; historical raw telemetry retention is 7 days by default.
