Deepfence ThreatMapper vs Sysdig Secure

Deepfence ThreatMapper is a self-hosted security tool that discovers production workloads and ranks threats by exploit risk. It maps pods, containers, applications, and infrastructure, then generates runtime software bills of materials for running workloads and operating systems and checks them against multiple vulnerability feeds. It also detects exposed keys, tokens, and passwords in containers and host filesystems, and evaluates infrastructure settings against CIS, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and other benchmarks. The Threat Graph links vulnerability, secret, and compliance findings with network flows, security groups, and live status. Its management console runs in containers on a Docker host or dedicated Kubernetes cluster, providing HTTPS administration and API automation. One console can manage different workload types across on-premise and cloud deployments. Documented integrations include Slack, PagerDuty, Jira, Splunk, ELK, Sumo Logic, and AWS S3; image-build scanning supports CircleCI, Jenkins, and GitLab. The project is free under the Apache 2 license. Windows Server support is experimental and not suitable for production use.

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.
