Cloudanix vs Sysdig Secure

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.

Sysdig Secure is a cloud-native application protection platform for cloud environments, containers, Kubernetes, hosts, and serverless workloads. It uses runtime insights to prioritize risks that are exploitable in a customer’s environment. Threat detection runs in real time using Falco rules, machine learning, and drift control; vulnerability scanning is available with agent-based or agentless approaches and prioritizes vulnerabilities in use. Cloud Attack Graph connects vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and excessive permissions to map potential attack paths. Sysdig Sage is an AI assistant for security search, vulnerability management, threat investigation, and response. The platform connects to AWS, GCP, and Azure, and documents integrations including Git, Jira, Snyk, Docker Scout, Splunk, Elasticsearch, and Syslog. Sysdig describes support for on-premises, air-gapped, and private cloud environments. Deployment is hybrid, with licensing based on hosts or compute instances for CSPM. The documented agent supports Linux distributions and Windows Server 2019 and later; the vulnerability CLI scanner is available for Linux and macOS. Pricing is by quote rather than displayed.
