AccuKnox is a runtime-aware ASPM platform that bundles SAST, DAST, SCA, IaC, container, and secrets scanning with runtime visibility from its open-source KubeArmor project.
What is AccuKnox?
The hook on AccuKnox’s marketing — “Drowning in Application Security Alerts? Reclaim Control with Intelligent ASPM That Actually Works” — points at the same alert-fatigue problem the rest of the ASPM category is solving. What makes AccuKnox different is the runtime layer.
Most ASPM tools ingest scanner output and try to deduce exploitability from static signals. AccuKnox runs its own runtime telemetry through KubeArmor, an eBPF and LSM-based engine that watches what containers actually do in production. That runtime view feeds directly into the prioritization model.
Scanner coverage
KubeArmor: the runtime engine
KubeArmor is the open-source project that gives AccuKnox its differentiating signal. It uses eBPF (in-kernel observability) and Linux Security Modules (LSM, the kernel-level enforcement layer used by AppArmor and SELinux) to:
| Capability | What it does |
|---|---|
| Runtime visibility | Maps process, network, and file activity per workload |
| Policy enforcement | Blocks disallowed syscalls, file access, or network egress at the kernel level |
| Threat correlation | Feeds runtime telemetry into the AccuKnox ASPM prioritization layer |
| CNCF status | Accepted into the CNCF Sandbox — community-validated open source |
For AppSec teams, the practical effect is that AccuKnox can mark a vulnerable package as not actually reachable in production because the runtime engine sees that the affected code path is never invoked. That is the kind of context that lets the platform suppress noise instead of just sorting it.

When to use AccuKnox
AccuKnox is a strong fit for teams that:
- Run substantial workloads on Kubernetes and want runtime context built into the ASPM correlation, not bolted on.
- Already use or plan to use KubeArmor as an open-source runtime security control.
- Want a single vendor for both static AppSec scanners and runtime visibility, rather than stitching together a separate ASPM tool plus a separate runtime engine.
If runtime context is not a priority, DefectDojo (open source) and ArmorCode (enterprise commercial) cover ASPM aggregation without the runtime layer. If you want a CNAPP-led ASPM, Wiz extends from the cloud side.
Pricing requires a sales conversation.
