KSPM Pro vs KubeArmor

KSPM Pro is a web service that scans, analyzes and protects Kubernetes clusters. Its scanner checks configurations against the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark, the NSA-CISA Hardening Guide and MITRE ATT&CK. AI analysis prioritizes remediation and generates policy suggestions in plain English. Teams can optionally use a Kubernetes admission controller to enforce policies and block misconfigurations before they reach a cluster. Deployment uses a scanning agent installed with a single kubectl command. The Free plan covers one cluster and includes real-time scans, framework checks, a basic dashboard and community support. Pro costs $100 a month for up to five clusters, with SAML / SSO, 30-day audit logs, PDF reports, alerts and AI insights. Enterprise lists unlimited clusters, unlimited audit logs, AI policy enforcement, a dedicated account manager and 24/7 priority support; no price is listed. The service is built and operated by India-based Geeta Global Ventures. Its privacy policy says it collects cluster metadata for security analysis and does not access application data or secrets.

KubeArmor is an open-source runtime security system for enforcing policies on cloud-native workloads. It uses Linux Security Modules such as AppArmor, SELinux, and BPF-LSM, with eBPF for alerts, telemetry, and container-process tracking. Policies can restrict process execution, file access, networking operations, and resource use. Container policies support Allow, Audit, and Block actions, with Block as the default; system-call monitoring is audit-only. Kubernetes policies can target pods through labels and label expressions, and rules can match paths, network protocols, capabilities, and system calls. The deployment matrix covers Kubernetes, non-Kubernetes containers, virtual machines, and bare-metal hosts. It lists Kubernetes environments including GKE, AKS, OKE, IKS, EKS, OpenShift, Rancher, and DigitalOcean Kubernetes, but support varies by operating system, architecture, and enforcement mode. Some environments are observability-only, and VMware Tanzu entries are under construction. KubeArmor is a community-governed CNCF Sandbox project. The free plan is free; installation guidance uses Helm and kubectl.
