How TigerGate Works

TigerGate provides everything AccuKnox offers, plus comprehensive code security and multi-cloud CSPM—all in one unified platform

1. Runtime Protection (eBPF)

Like AccuKnox's KubeArmor, we use eBPF for runtime monitoring and enforcement. But we extend support to Docker, ECS, VMs, and bare metal—not just Kubernetes.

2. Multi-Cloud CSPM

Unlike AccuKnox's K8s-only focus, TigerGate includes comprehensive CSPM for AWS, GCP, Azure, and Oracle Cloud with 576+ CIS checks and automated remediation.

3. Complete Code Security

TigerGate adds full SAST, SCA, secrets detection, IaC scanning, DAST, and API testing to secure your code before it reaches production.

The TigerGate Advantage

AccuKnox excels at Kubernetes runtime security. TigerGate extends this with multi-cloud CSPM, code scanning, broader platform support, and compliance automation—giving you complete security coverage.

  • Similar eBPF runtime protection + multi-cloud CSPM + code security
  • Supports K8s, Docker, ECS, bare metal/VMs (not just Kubernetes)
  • Transparent pricing starting at $499/month
  • Comprehensive AWS/GCP/Azure security (576+ cloud checks)

Similar eBPF Runtime Protection

Like KubeArmor, TigerGate uses eBPF for kernel-level visibility and real-time policy enforcement. Detect zero-days and supply chain attacks in production.

AccuKnox: KubeArmor for K8s runtime security

Unified Security Platform

One platform for code, cloud, runtime, containers, and compliance. Reduce tool sprawl and integrate security across your entire SDLC and infrastructure.

AccuKnox: Runtime security focused
"We loved AccuKnox's KubeArmor for Kubernetes runtime security, but we needed cloud CSPM and code scanning too. TigerGate gave us similar eBPF runtime protection plus AWS/GCP/Azure security and SAST/SCA scanning—all in one platform. The transparent pricing and broader platform support made the switch easy."

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about choosing TigerGate over AccuKnox

TigerGate uses similar eBPF-based kernel monitoring and LSM enforcement as KubeArmor. Both provide real-time policy enforcement and zero-overhead runtime protection. The key difference is TigerGate supports Kubernetes, Docker, ECS, and bare metal/VMs, while KubeArmor is Kubernetes-only.
Yes. TigerGate's eBPF agent runs on Kubernetes, Docker, AWS ECS, and bare metal/VM environments. AccuKnox's KubeArmor is limited to Kubernetes clusters, which may not cover your entire infrastructure.
TigerGate includes comprehensive CSPM for AWS (576+ checks), GCP (79+ checks), Azure (162+ checks), and Oracle Cloud (51+ checks). AccuKnox focuses on Kubernetes security and doesn't provide cloud provider misconfiguration scanning or CIS benchmark compliance.
Yes. TigerGate provides similar eBPF runtime protection while adding multi-cloud CSPM, code security (SAST, SCA, secrets), container scanning, DAST, API testing, and broader platform support. You get more complete security coverage than AccuKnox.
TigerGate adds: (1) Multi-cloud CSPM for AWS/GCP/Azure/Oracle, (2) Code security with SAST, SCA, secrets, IaC scanning, (3) Docker/ECS/VM support beyond Kubernetes, (4) DAST and API security testing, (5) AI/LLM security scanning, (6) Transparent pricing starting at $499/month.
TigerGate starts at $499/month with transparent pricing. AccuKnox requires contacting sales for pricing. Both offer self-hosted options for regulated industries requiring data sovereignty.
Yes. Both TigerGate and AccuKnox offer self-hosted deployment options. TigerGate can be deployed in your VPC or on-premise infrastructure for complete data sovereignty and compliance requirements.
TigerGate provides compliance automation for SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR. Unlike AccuKnox, TigerGate integrates directly with Vanta and Drata for automated evidence collection, making compliance audits easier.
