Acquired by Google. Wiz is the leader in having an all-in-one cloud security platform by expanding into CTEM, ASPM, and Runtime capabilities all within a single dashboard. Their posture and vulnerability capabilities remain the strongest, but their Code and Defend offerings are competitive in their own right.
Upwind has built CNAPP from the ground-up around runtime insights provided from a network focused endpoint agent. They provide unique features like API security, alongside vulnerability prioritization and scanning, and the more generic CNAPP feature sets.
The core of Sweet Security is powerful incident detection and response capabilities for cloud environments. They have since created a larger CNAPP platform expanding more into vulnerability management, posture, and identity capabilities
CrowdStrike's container runtime technically works, but deployment, maintenance, and usefulness do not compare to other tools at the time of testing. CrowdStrike's Windows offerings remain dominant in the space, but their CNAPP and container security solutions are difficult to recommend.
Sysdig created the first runtime cloud protection tool with the open source project Falco, and has since built a trusted, enterprise ready, runtime oriented CNAPP platform. The tool is strongest at runtime protection, but offers the standard suite of CNAPP features, and is especially a good choice for regulated industries.
ClearVector has built identity focused runtime defense across workloads and clouds.
Lacework built on top of an alert based approach rather than more traditional scanning models. That has the benefit of reduced noise and a faster reactive approach, but at the cost of surfacing a lot of alerts to security that they don't have the ability to fix.
Defender for Cloud has a lot of comparative features to dedicated CNAPPs, but it's a beast to setup and maintain. It's a good starting point for larger companies who don't have an appetite for a more focused solution, and are addicted to collecting the highest E license as possible.
