About Kubescape
Kubescape is a Kubernetes security platform that finds security, compliance, and misconfiguration issues across the whole lifecycle, from the IDE through CI/CD to running clusters. It covers workload posture, control-plane exposure, access-control risk, and runtime security.
It scans against built-in frameworks such as NSA, MITRE ATT&CK, and CIS, or against specific controls. Image vulnerability scanning uses Grype, with an offline database option, and it can patch container images for OS-level CVEs and flag gaps in network policy.
An in-cluster operator runs continuous misconfiguration and image scanning, eBPF-based runtime threat detection, network policy generation, and Prometheus metrics. It works as a standalone CLI or as the operator, and is a CNCF project under the Apache 2.0 license.
