audytx vs Kubescape

audytx analyzes AWS infrastructure code and Terraform pull requests, presenting security and cost findings in GitHub and to coding agents. Its deterministic, non-AI engine models resource relationships such as invocation topology, encryption chains, network exposure, resource lifetimes, and IAM trust graphs. The maker lists 303 AWS Terraform checks and 27 cross-resource reasoning axes. A GitHub App posts pull-request digests, inline review, and SARIF, using read-only contents permission while writing comments, reviews, statuses, and SARIF uploads. An optional GitHub Actions step uploads a resolved Terraform plan over OIDC without shared secrets. A hosted MCP server exposes the engine to Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex; autofix applies line-anchored changes and rescans for up to three passes. AWS, Terraform, and CloudFormation are supported in stated hosted workflows. Free includes 100 scans monthly; Plus costs $20 a month and Pro $100 a month.

Kubescape is an open-source platform for Kubernetes security across configuration, images, compliance, and activity in running clusters. It analyzes Kubernetes manifests, Helm charts, and live clusters for misconfigurations. Its operator scans deployed container images for vulnerabilities using Grype and public vulnerability databases, and monitors active clusters for suspicious behavior and threats. Kubescape supports CIS, NSA-CISA, MITRE ATT&CK, and SOC 2 frameworks. Its policy engine uses Open Policy Agent to evaluate Kubernetes objects against posture controls written in Rego; the operator runs as microservices that continuously monitor cluster posture. Integrations are available for GitHub, GitLab CI/CD, Lens, and Visual Studio Code. The CLI can download artifacts for local use, including in offline and air-gapped environments. Results can be exported as JSON or JUnit XML or rendered as HTML or PDF. The CLI and Kubernetes operator are self-hosted and free under Apache License 2.0. ARMO Platform is a compatible provider for uploading scan results and downloading custom artifacts; its price depends on vCPUs and other cloud resources.
