FAQ – Get Answers to Common Questions About AccuKnox

Topic

Deployment & Licensing

Yes, AccuKnox can be deployed in isolated environments with no internet access. However, a few challenges and requirements should be considered:

  • Vulnerability Database Updates: In SaaS environments, AccuKnox updates the vulnerabilities database twice daily. In isolated deployments, update frequency depends on customer readiness. We recommend setting up an automated pipeline to push updates regularly.
  • Container Images: Customers must stage necessary container images in their private registry. AccuKnox provides the list of required images and instructions for fetching them.
  • Monitoring & Alerts: In SaaS, AccuKnox SRE practices provide automated health monitoring and notifications. In isolated environments, customers must set up equivalent procedures to monitor system health.
  • Resilience: The AccuKnox Control Plane’s availability does not impact the customer’s Data Plane or production operations. Runtime security enforcement continues even if the Control Plane is unavailable.
  • Backups: Customers should configure backup and snapshot procedures, with support from AccuKnox SRE/DevOps.

Deployment guidelines: On-Prem Installation Guide.

Yes. AccuKnox can deploy its Control Plane across multiple regions to achieve redundancy and disaster recovery.

  • The solution leverages native Kubernetes concepts for distributed deployment.
  • Nodes can span across multiple Availability Zones (AZs) and regions.
  • Requirement: Sufficient and reliable network bandwidth must exist between regions for smooth operation.

AccuKnox requires an independent Kubernetes cluster for deployment. We strongly recommend not using an existing cluster that is already running customer applications

  • Licensing is generally subscription-based.
  • On-prem customers are expected to procure Platinum Support.
  • On-prem licensing may include discounted rates, since customers manage their own resources.
  • Modular licensing is supported—customers can purchase individual modules such as CSPM, ASPM, CWPP, or KSPM separately.
  • Pricing Factors:
  • Number of cloud assets, container images, worker nodes, etc.

AccuKnox is a Zero Trust CNAPP solution.

  • CNAPP (Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform) defines the product category for securing cloud-native infrastructure and applications.
  • Zero Trust is a security philosophy.
  • AccuKnox integrates both by applying least-permissive, allow-specific and deny-rest policies across cloud-native apps and infrastructure.

No. AccuKnox does not directly integrate with virtualization platforms (VMware, Hyper-V, KVM, Nutanix AHV).

  • Instead, AccuKnox secures virtual machines created on these platforms.
  • Security is provided either agentlessly (via snapshots) or through lightweight scanning agents.

AccuKnox has prepared a comparison battlecard against popular vendors, including Palo Alto Networks. Please contact the AccuKnox team for the latest version.

Yes. Customers have the flexibility to purchase specific modules such as KSPM, CSPM, ASPM, or CWPP independently.

  • Pricing is modular and typically based on:
    • Number of cloud assets
    • Number of container images
    • Number of worker nodes
  • Customers only pay for the modules they choose.
  • SaaS PoC: ~1–2 weeks (since infrastructure is already in place).
  • On-Prem PoC: ~2–3 weeks (depends on environment complexity and customer readiness).

    • Air-gapped on-prem deployments require additional steps, such as staging images in a private registry.
    • In some cases, if prerequisites are fully prepared, on-prem deployment can be completed in just a few hours.

CWPP

LSMs are already enabled in the environment and use host based LSM security. Since the attacker usually has direct access to the pod, AccuKnox uses Inline remediation to stop the processes before executing. Therefore, inline remediation does not slow down the process.

Compliance Frameworks (MITRE, CIS, NIST) for hardening workloads.

Understanding the Application behavior using LSMs.

 

Hardening Policies:

  • These are block based policies
  • These policies are suggested according to compliance framework
  • They help to harden the workload against known attacks
  • We can implement workload hardening and file integrity monitoring using these policies

 

Behavioral Policies:

  • These are allow based policies
  • These policies are generated according to application behavior
  • They create a zero trust environment for the workloads
  • We can implement network micro segmentation and zero trust using these policies

Yes, it can show up in terms of application behavior & logs.

AccuKnox’s Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP) achieves runtime security by leveraging CNCF sandbox project, KubeArmor, which is a cloud-native runtime security enforcement system by AccuKnox that restricts and provides more granular control over the application behavior such as process execution, file access, and networking operation of containers and nodes at the system level.

AccuKnox KubeArmor is a cloud-native runtime security enforcement system that leverages Linux Security Modules to secure the workloads. LSMs are really powerful but they weren’t built with modern workloads including containers and orchestrators in mind. Hence, eBPF and BPF-LSM have provided us with extended capabilities to enhance our custom programs with decision making into the kernel seamlessly helping us to protect modern workloads. Therefore, KubeArmor helps to enforce security posture wherein any malicious attacks can be stopped before execution, known as inline mitigation (mentioned by Forrester report)

KubeArmor leverages best of breed Linux Security Modules (LSMs) such as AppArmor, BPF-LSM, and SELinux for inline mitigation to reduce the attack surface of the pod/container/VM. LSMs have several advantages over any other techniques. By using LSMs, KubeArmor does not have to disturb pods/containers and also does not require change at host or CRI level to apply security policies.

 

KubeArmor is deployed as a non-privileged daemonset with certain capabilities that allow it to monitor other pods/containers and host. A given cluster can have multiple nodes utilizing different LSMs so KubeArmor abstracts the complexities of the LSMs and provides an easy way for policy enforcement.

Accknox enables DevSecOps teams to embed security policies as code into their GitOps workflow. This provides a unified, collaborative view of the policies and enables them to be shipped and deployed along with the applications they are protecting. Hence, utilizing GitOps based policy version control, it will be easy to enforce changes to policies and keep track of versions in case of audit or rollback requirement along with approval mechanisms.

AccuKnox CWPP provides micro-segmentation at the lowest possible granularity level which is also a smallest execution unit in Kubernetes i.e. Pods. We will help you to identify process execution requests from the pods, network connections the pods are trying to make internally or externally and files-system the pods are accessing. By observing the behavior of a particular pod and restricting that behavior so that it functions according to the expected flow of process/events/traffic, one can develop a least permissive security posture from creating a whitelisting policy and auditing/denying everything else.

Accuknox CWPP solution provide Discovery Engine agent that assesses the security posture of your workloads and auto-discovers the policy-set required to put the workload in least-permissive mode. We also provide Shared Informer Agent which collects information about cluster like pods, nodes, namespaces etc. The Policy Discovery Engine discovers the policies using the workload and cluster information that is relayed by Shared Informer Agent.

KubeArmor is a security solution for the Kubernetes and cloud native platforms that helps protect your workloads from attacks and threats. It does this by providing a set of hardening policies that are based on industry-leading compliance and attack frameworks such as CIS, MITRE, NIST-800-53, and STIGs. These policies are designed to help you secure your workloads in a way that is compliant with these frameworks and recommended best practices.

In Kubernetes, the network policy resource is a set of network traffic rules that are applied to a group of pods in a Kubernetes cluster. The network policy specifies how a pod is allowed to communicate with others. Network policy controllers (running as pods in the Kubernetes cluster) convert the requirements and restrictions of the network policies that are retrieved from the Kubernetes API into the network infrastructure.

By implementing a zero trust posture with KubeArmor, organizations can increase their security posture and reduce the risk of unauthorized access or activity within their Kubernetes clusters. This can help to protect sensitive data, prevent system breaches, and maintain the integrity of the cluster. KubeArmor supports allow-based policies which result in specific actions to be allowed and denying/auditing everything else. For example, a specific pod/container might only invoke a set of binaries at runtime. As part of allow-based rules you can specify the set of processes that are allowed and everything else is either audited or denied based on the default security posture.

AccuKnox supports following types of workloads:

  • K8s orchestrated workloads: Workloads deployed as k8s orchestrated containers. In this case, Kubearmor is deployed as a k8s daemonset.
  • VM/Bare-Metals workloads: Workloads deployed on Virtual Machines or Bare Metal i.e. workloads directly operating as host processes. In this case, Kubearmor is deployed in system deemed mode.

Post-exploit Mitigation works by killing the suspicious process in response to an alert indicating malicious intent. In this case an attacker will be allowed to be able to execute its binary and could possibly disable the security controls, access logs, etc to circumvent the attack detection. By the time the malicious process is killed, it might have already deleted, encrypted, or transmitted the sensitive contents.

 

Inline Mitigation on the other hand prevents the malicious attack at the time of happening itself. It doesn’t allow the attack to happen by protecting the environment with security policy or firewall. AccuKnox’s open source tool KubeArmor provides Inline Mitigation. KubeArmor uses inline mitigation to reduce the attack surface of pod/container/VM. KubeArmor leverages best of breed Linux Security Modules (LSMs) such as AppArmor, BPF-LSM, and SELinux (only for host protection) for inline mitigation.

Accuknox Enterprise version consists of various agents such as:

  • KubeArmor: KubeArmor is a cloud-native runtime security enforcement system that restricts the behavior (such as process execution, file access, and networking operation) of containers and nodes at the system level. KubeArmor dynamically set the restrictions on the pod. KubeArmor leverages Linux Security Modules (LSMs) to enforce policies at runtime.
  • Feeder Service: It collects the feeds from kubeArmor and relays to the app.
  • Shared Informer Agent: It collects information about the cluster like pods, nodes, namespaces etc.
  • Policy Discovery Engine: It discovers the policies using the workload and cluster information that is relayed by a shared informer Agent.

AI Copilot

Its great for any DevSecOps, CISOs or SOC team who wants to understand specific on-demand queries about security. It can help to accelerate productivity, efficiency and proactive responses to security concerns.

AccuKnox AI Copilot competes with Sysdig Sage and other CNAPP Chatbot curated for security. Here are its understanding based on its features –

 

Advantages:

  • On-demand answers to all kinds of platform related questions, statistics or information related question about compliance or vulnerabilities
  • Curated responses based on security Personas – such as CISO’s, DevSecOps
  • Get attack relationship from comparison of various threat vectors across the infrastructure
  • Drastically reduce learning curve and accelerate proactive response to critical cloud risks

 

Disadvantages:

  • Its a standalone environment which could require additional compute, storage or memory to run and hence can incur costs
  • For proactive remediation, its best to go with human-in-the-loop model
  • Answer to the question largely depends on the data it was last trained on and hence periodic training would be a requirement
  • Data is still the King! Means the more the data system learns on.. The better informed it could be on the aspects of responses on abstracted query.

AccuKnox AI Copilot follows best practices of RBAC and ensures multi-tenancy in the tenant hosted data with guardrails on the prompt as well as the questions. It also ensures security based on OWASP LLM Top 10.

AccuKnox AI Copilot was built while considering efficiency and productivity as major outcomes for the DevSecOps or CISOs so that they can make informed decisions and get curated responses reducing delta time in fetching the information. Also its good at summarizing a lot of data over the period of time and showcase trends for more deeper analysis.

Its plug and play where we offer to host the same in customer env as On-Prem or SaaS (in secured multi-tenant environment).

Its one of the main objective is to reduce learning curve and it can start generating value since day 1 and largely depends on asking security questions at real-time without having to deal with point-in-time snapshot.
