How does each see workloads?
- Coverage model
- Cloud Native Security is "an agentless CNAPP"; Cloud Workload Security adds runtime protection.
- Runtime layer
- Cloud Workload Security for containers, VMs and AI workloads.
- Path to first findings
- Agentless onboarding; SentinelOne states "Connect Your Cloud. See Results Immediately." with no time figure.
SentinelOne
- Coverage model
- Agentless CSPM, CIEM and host vulnerability scanning on AWS, Google Cloud and Azure; in-use analysis and runtime detection need the agent.
- Runtime layer
- Sysdig agent with Falco-based detection.
- Path to first findings
- Agentless connection; Sysdig's docs say compliance results appear about 5 to 10 minutes after connection, varying with scale. In-use package insight needs the agent.
