Instead of Kubescape
Kubescape alternatives
Kubescape is built for Kubernetes security: it checks manifests, Helm charts, and live clusters for misconfigurations, scans deployed images for vulnerabilities, and monitors active clusters for suspicious behavior. Its Rego policy controls and support for CIS, NSA-CISA, MITRE ATT&CK, and SOC 2 add posture and compliance coverage. The open-source plan is free under Apache 2.0 and runs self-hosted through a CLI and Kubernetes operator, with offline operation available.

A different product may fit better if your work spans cloud services, APIs, identities, or managed threat response rather than Kubernetes alone. Kubescape’s open-source deployment requires self-hosting, and ARMO Platform pricing depends on vCPUs and other cloud resources. Compare each option’s coverage and operating model: some add cloud-wide remediation or managed detection, while another focuses on API exposure. Check whether its stated platforms match your environment and whether a free plan, subscription, or quote-based price suits your budget; Skyhigh Private Access, for example, is for controlled private access, not Kubernetes security.
