Aqua Security vs Sysdig

Aqua's Image Assurance policy gates Kubernetes deployments via admission controller, blocking any image with critical CVEs or detected secrets before the pod starts.

Aqua's secrets detection scans source code, config files, and env variables in CI pipelines, catching hardcoded API keys before they reach a container registry.

Sysdig's runtime drift detection flags binaries executing inside a container that were not present in the original image, catching supply chain compromises within seconds of execution.

Sysdig's ML baselines learn normal process behavior per container type, auto-tuning Falco rules to reduce false positives without requiring manual rule authoring.
