Kubescape vs ZeusCloud

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.

ZeusCloud is a free, open-source, self-hosted platform for discovering, prioritizing, and remediating cloud security risks. It builds inventories of AWS account assets and monitors environments for attack paths and misconfigurations. The platform identifies combinations of risks that could let an attacker penetrate an environment. Access Explorer visualizes who can access what through an IAM visualization engine. Findings can be filtered, sorted, searched, and viewed with graphical context. Users can configure active rules, mute alerts, and modify or write rules as security as code. Step-by-step remediation guidance accompanies findings. The project describes support for PCI DSS and CIS benchmarks and uses Cartography for asset inventory; integrations with vulnerability and secret scanners are listed as roadmap items. The quick start clones the repository, runs make quick-deploy, and opens the interface at localhost:80. An enterprise cloud-hosted offering is available by contacting the maker. The project advises against public exposure and recommends current versions for security patches.
