Armor vs Cloudanix

Armor is a cloud security and compliance service for organizations, with managed detection and response among its offerings. Armor Agent plans cover malware protection, file integrity monitoring, intrusion prevention, vulnerability scanning, and patch monitoring. Its MDR service includes round-the-clock monitoring and triage, threat hunting, and response that can include containment and remediation guidance. The Nexus portal shows investigated threats and actions taken by Armor’s team. Platform capabilities include AI-assisted incident investigation, threat intelligence, MITRE ATT&CK mapping, and response-time tracking. Armor describes integrations with Microsoft and Oracle cloud environments and use with customers’ existing Microsoft security tools. Armor Enterprise Cloud includes controls and audit support for regulated environments, with frameworks such as HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, SOC 2, NIST CSF, and ISO 27001. Armor Agent Premium costs $99 a month per endpoint, with no endpoint limit. The MDR plan starts at $4,380/month for 500 endpoints, with pricing dependent on coverage and scope.

Cloudanix is a CNAPP that connects code security, cloud posture, workload protection, cloud identity, and just-in-time access in a shared security graph. Its cloud coverage includes AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI. Code security includes SAST, SCA, secrets scanning, IaC, and CI security; access features include CIEM and time-bound JIT access for cloud, databases, virtual machines, Kubernetes, and AI agents. Its database activity monitoring offering provides real-time masking, query prevention, and audit trails for cloud or on-premises databases. Cloud accounts connect through read-only APIs without agents, and Cloudanix advertises 30-minute onboarding. The company says its SaaS control plane stores configuration metadata rather than customer data or secrets, and that application-level encryption uses AES-256 GCM. Deployment options include regional SaaS tenants in the US, EU, India, and Middle East, or CloudPrem inside a customer's VPC. Paid plans start at $3.49 a month per monitored asset, with a 100-asset minimum for Cloud Pro Posture. Other listed Pro plans have minimums, and Enterprise prices are custom.
