OpenCNAPP vs Uptycs CNAPP

OpenCNAPP is an open-source cloud-native application protection platform from Xcitium, LLC Cybersecurity Company. It is listed as free and self-hosted, while deployment descriptions include SaaS and on-premises models across public, private, hybrid and air-gapped environments. The platform covers cloud environments, clusters, containers, code repositories, Kubernetes and virtual machines from build through runtime. It provides agentless cloud posture management, multi-cloud visibility, misconfiguration and drift detection, and continuous compliance, auditing and reporting. Pipeline capabilities include static code analysis, CI/CD scanning, container and Kubernetes security, and secret scanning. Runtime protection uses eBPF- and LSM-powered workload controls, with container visibility, application and network firewalls, and in-line mitigation. OpenCNAPP also lists Zero Trust policy generation, observe, audit and enforce controls, integrations across registries, notifications, SIEM, ticketing, EDR, AppSec and SOAR, plus IoT, edge, 5G and federal workload coverage.

Uptycs CNAPP provides risk visibility, protection, and prevention for hybrid cloud workloads from build time through runtime. It combines continuous workload scanning, agentless scans, and eBPF runtime insights to catalog software across assets. Workload risk scores connect attack paths and runtime threats with context such as committed code. Build-time scanning covers AMIs, images, infrastructure as code, and code repositories, including alerts for third-party dependency vulnerabilities. Uptycs says runtime defenses can stop threats such as cryptominers and reverse shells in real time, with customized FIM and YARA policies. Investigations can draw on Attack Path, Ask Uptycs, Unified Threat Hunting, Juno AI Analyst, and historical or real-time queries. Listed out-of-the-box compliance reports cover SOC 2, CIS, PCI DSS, HITRUST, NIST, DISA, ISO, and FedRAMP. It supports AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Pricing starts at $36 a year for Discover — Workload, equivalent to $3.00/month billed annually, but the minimum order is $12K per year. Workload units support up to 8 processing cores; historical raw telemetry retention is 7 days by default.
