Cloudanix vs OpenCNAPP

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.

OpenCNAPP is an open-source cloud-native application protection platform from Xcitium, LLC Cybersecurity Company. It is listed as free and self-hosted, while deployment descriptions include SaaS and on-premises models across public, private, hybrid and air-gapped environments. The platform covers cloud environments, clusters, containers, code repositories, Kubernetes and virtual machines from build through runtime. It provides agentless cloud posture management, multi-cloud visibility, misconfiguration and drift detection, and continuous compliance, auditing and reporting. Pipeline capabilities include static code analysis, CI/CD scanning, container and Kubernetes security, and secret scanning. Runtime protection uses eBPF- and LSM-powered workload controls, with container visibility, application and network firewalls, and in-line mitigation. OpenCNAPP also lists Zero Trust policy generation, observe, audit and enforce controls, integrations across registries, notifications, SIEM, ticketing, EDR, AppSec and SOAR, plus IoT, edge, 5G and federal workload coverage.
