Aqua Security vs Sweet Security

Aqua Security provides hybrid security software for development workflows, cloud workloads, containers, and Kubernetes environments. Dev Security includes code-repository discovery and scanning, container-image vulnerability and risk scanning, Dynamic Threat Analysis, Infrastructure-as-Code scanning, and SBOM generation and analysis. Its pricing is based on the number of code repositories. Cloud Security covers cloud and Kubernetes workload visibility, agentless workload scanning, real-time runtime protection, drift prevention, and compliance reporting; pricing depends on workload counts such as EC2 instances, Fargate containers, and Lambda functions. The Platform plan adds end-to-end SDLC visibility, risk prioritization, contextualized risk scoring, compliance and custom reporting, and role-based access control. Listed capabilities include runtime protection, Kubernetes security, image and registry scanning, admission control, and SBOM generation. Aqua Security was founded in 2015 and lists headquarters in Boston and Ramat Gan. Pricing is available on request and there is no free plan.

Sweet Security is a cloud security platform focused on runtime protection for applications, workloads, infrastructure, and AI agents. Its Runtime CNAPP combines Cloud Detection and Response, Application Detection and Response, and Cloud Workload Protection, drawing on eBPF sensors and cloud logs. The platform also describes AI security spanning the model layer to agent execution, including an AI Gateway that analyzes agent traffic and policies that can block risky operations. Cloud posture features detect misconfigurations, prioritize risks, offer remediation guidance, and apply deployment guardrails. Incident storylines organize activity to help teams assess false positives and identify who should act; playbooks can guide manual or automatic termination of malicious processes. Sweet lists support for AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, private cloud, Kubernetes, Linux-based virtual machines, and Linux and Windows hosts. It is agent-based, with container, serverless, and Kubernetes protection. Automated checks can run against industry and custom compliance frameworks. Pricing is on request, and prospective customers are directed to request a demo.
