kubescape

Kubescape is a security-focused software publisher that delivers a single, tightly scoped product: an open-source Kubernetes security platform engineered to embed security checks directly into developer IDEs, automate policy validation inside CI/CD pipelines, and continuously monitor running clusters for misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and compliance drift. The tool is commonly deployed by DevOps teams who need to shift Kubernetes security left without slowing release velocity, by platform engineers who must enforce NSA-CISA, CIS Benchmarks, and MITRE ATT&CK controls at scale, and by security officers who require centralized visibility across multi-cluster environments. Typical use cases include scanning YAML manifests before they reach the cluster, generating risk-prioritized reports that map to well-known compliance frameworks, blocking non-compliant builds in GitHub Actions or GitLab CI, and running periodic scans against live infrastructure to detect newly disclosed CVEs or configuration regressions. Because Kubescape exports findings in SARIF, JSON, and Prometheus formats, it integrates naturally with ticketing systems, SIEMs, and policy controllers such as OPA Gatekeeper. The CLI can be scripted for nightly audits, while the IDE extensions give developers instant feedback as they write resource files. Kubescape’s software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads delivered through trusted Windows package sources like winget, always installing the latest upstream release and supporting batch installation alongside other DevSecOps utilities.
