Cyscale CNAPP vs Upwind CNAPP

Cyscale CNAPP is a web platform that combines cloud posture, vulnerability, identity, workload, data, AI, and compliance context in a remediation workflow. It prioritizes risks using factors including exposure, exploitability, identity reachability, affected workloads, sensitive data access, compliance impact, and business context. Supported environments include AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, and Kubernetes. Most cloud onboarding uses secure provider APIs without agents, while Kubernetes visibility relies on a Cyscale agent for in-cluster collection. Identity and source-control integrations include Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, Okta, GitHub, and GitLab. Controls map to ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, NIST, CIS Benchmarks, NIS 2, and DORA, with custom controls supported. Cyscale says it is ISO 27001-certified, hosts platform data on AWS, and accesses customer platform data only when support requires it and the customer explicitly permits access. Pro costs $850 a month billed annually for up to 1,000 assets and 10 connectors. Scale costs $2,000 a month billed annually for up to 5,000 assets and 50 connectors. A free trial is available, but there is no free plan.

Upwind CNAPP brings application security, cloud security posture, and real-time protection together across the cloud lifecycle, from development through production. Agentless cloud scanners and runtime sensors build live inventory, identify exposures, and protect workloads as they run. Listed capabilities include CSPM, CIEM, DSPM, AI-SPM, attack path analysis, vulnerability management, Kubernetes and serverless security, API security, DAST, and cloud detection and response. Upwind describes live inventory and high-signal exposure prioritization as ways to focus on exposures. The platform supports AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Oracle Cloud, and is available through web and API. Its integrations directory includes tools such as Jira, Slack, GitHub Actions, GitLab, and Argo CD, as well as ChatGPT, xAI Grok, OpenAI Enterprise, Anthropic Enterprise, and Claude. Upwind says stored data is protected with encryption, access controls, and authentication, and data in transit with TLS and HSTS. The Trust Center lists SOC 2 Type 2, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, and GDPR.
