SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security vs Tetragon

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is a paid platform for protecting production workloads, cloud and AI infrastructure, and data stores. It brings together cloud posture, identity, workload, data and AI security capabilities. The platform identifies cloud misconfigurations and compliance gaps, while runtime protections detect threats in containers, virtual machines and AI workloads and help contain attacks and prevent lateral movement. Cloud Data Security scans files at ingestion for known and zero-day threats before execution; SentinelOne says the files are scanned in their existing environment without customer data leaving it. The platform correlates cloud, endpoint and identity telemetry for investigations, using Purple AI and automated workflows to help with response. CSPM resource discovery covers AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Alibaba and Oracle Cloud, with agentless connections described for AWS, Azure and Google Cloud. It is a hybrid deployment with no free plan, and pricing is available on request. Listed platforms include Android, iOS, API and web.

Tetragon is a Kubernetes-aware security observability and runtime enforcement tool for Linux, container, and Kubernetes workloads. It uses eBPF to monitor activity, filter events, and enforce policies in the kernel in real time. Process reports can include executed binaries, command-line arguments, user IDs, parent processes, and start times. Tetragon also monitors file access and changes, and can block unauthorized file operations at the kernel level. Kubernetes policies can filter activity by namespace, pod labels, and container fields, with support for containerd and CRI-O. Network visibility ties events to processes and workloads and tracks connections, socket lifecycle, and bytes sent or received. The tool also monitors credential changes, kernel module activity, and eBPF program loads and interactions. Findings are available as JSON logs or through gRPC. Installation options include Helm on Kubernetes, released Linux packages, and a container image. Tetragon is a Cilium sub-project and a CNCF project, and is available as an open-source project with no paid plans listed.
