Holm Security Cloud Security vs Kubescape

Holm Security Cloud Security is a SaaS cloud security posture management product for finding and helping remediate vulnerabilities. It supports AWS, Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, Google Cloud, and Oracle Cloud. Assessments use cloud-platform APIs and require no additional hardware or software. The platform continuously discovers and monitors cloud-native assets, checking data access, network settings, IAM permissions, and other security configurations. It states full support for Center for Internet Security Benchmarks. Security Center combines discovery, assessment, AI-driven prioritisation, and remediation workflows. Listed integrations include Jira, ServiceNow, TOPdesk, IBM QRadar, Logpoint, Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and webhooks; custom connections can use the Holm Security Platform API. The service is available through web and API platforms, supports authenticated scanning, API testing, browser-based scanning, and CI/CD integration. Pricing is on request, with a free trial account offered for the VMP platform.

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.
