Sysdig Secure vs Uptycs CNAPP

Sysdig Secure is a cloud-native application protection platform for cloud environments, containers, Kubernetes, hosts, and serverless workloads. It uses runtime insights to prioritize risks that are exploitable in a customer’s environment. Threat detection runs in real time using Falco rules, machine learning, and drift control; vulnerability scanning is available with agent-based or agentless approaches and prioritizes vulnerabilities in use. Cloud Attack Graph connects vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and excessive permissions to map potential attack paths. Sysdig Sage is an AI assistant for security search, vulnerability management, threat investigation, and response. The platform connects to AWS, GCP, and Azure, and documents integrations including Git, Jira, Snyk, Docker Scout, Splunk, Elasticsearch, and Syslog. Sysdig describes support for on-premises, air-gapped, and private cloud environments. Deployment is hybrid, with licensing based on hosts or compute instances for CSPM. The documented agent supports Linux distributions and Windows Server 2019 and later; the vulnerability CLI scanner is available for Linux and macOS. Pricing is by quote rather than displayed.

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.
