Aikido CSPM vs DryRun Security IaC Security

Aikido CSPM gives teams a unified view of cloud misconfigurations, exposures, identity risks, and compliance gaps across cloud environments. It connects to accounts through read-only APIs, with no agents required, and lists AWS, Azure, GCP, and selected other providers such as DigitalOcean. Checks include public storage buckets, unencrypted databases, open SSH ports, and overly permissive IAM policies. Context-aware scoring prioritizes higher-impact production issues over lower-impact staging findings. Cloud Search accepts plain-language queries and can turn searches into real-time alerts. For some issues, Aikido offers guided fixes and auto-generated pull requests, but does not automatically change infrastructure. Other listed capabilities include container image and EC2 vulnerability scanning, IaC checks, runtime detection, asset inventory, attack path analysis, and SBOM management. Compliance checks map to SOC 2 and ISO 27001, with reporting that can sync to Vanta and Drata. The free Developer plan includes one cloud account; Basic is $300 a month, while Pro and Advanced are each $600 a month.

DryRun Security IaC Security scans infrastructure-as-code changes for security risks by analyzing infrastructure and application code together. It covers Terraform, Kubernetes, and other IaC, with checks for overly permissive IAM policies, publicly exposed resources, insecure defaults, and subdomain takeover risks. Scans run in pull requests and provide guidance during infrastructure design. Teams can write natural-language guardrails for public access, permitted cloud regions, approved resource types, and organization-specific requirements; the Custom Policy Agent enforces them on changes. Terraform findings can appear as pull-request comments and Risk Register entries containing the affected resource, risk description, and remediation guidance. Listed integrations include Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor, GitHub, GitLab, and Slack. The SaaS service supports GitHub.com personal, organization, and Enterprise Cloud repositories, plus GitLab SaaS; custom instances and other source-control systems require contacting DryRun. DryRun says it uses private models, sends no data to public AI systems, stores minimal metadata and findings, and allows code-access revocation through repository permissions. Pricing is on request, aligned with team size, and a free trial is available.
