Your CNAPP dashboard shows 10,000 critical findings from last night’s scan. Your CSPM flags misconfigurations every hour. Yet when the SOC asks what actually happened during last week’s incident, you’re still stitching together logs from five different tools to build a timeline that makes sense. Sound familiar? We recently spoke with a platform security lead at a fintech company running 400+ microservices on Kubernetes. Their CNAPP generated 47,000 findings in Q3.

What’s the difference between container scanning and container security? Scanning finds vulnerabilities in images before deployment—it’s container auditing, not container security. Real security requires runtime visibility: seeing what processes execute, what network connections occur, and what files get accessed while containers run. Most teams have scanning covered. Most teams are blind at runtime.

What are the three types of cloud compliance tools? Audit-prep platforms (Drata, Vanta) automate evidence collection for certifications. Security posture management/CSPM (Wiz, Prisma Cloud) scan configurations at a point in time. Runtime compliance verification (ARMO, Sysdig) monitors actual workload behavior continuously. Choosing the wrong type means solving for the wrong problem. What is compliance drift and why does it matter? The gap between your last scan and your current state.

When you’re managing a handful of certificates, one big list works fine. Add a few dozen more and things get messy. Add multiple teams or projects and you’ve got a problem. Who should have access to the production certificates? What about staging? Does the contractor working on the marketing site really need to see your internal infrastructure? CertKit now supports multiple applications from our roadmap to help you sort this out.

It’s been a big month at ARMO – we shipped several powerful new capabilities to help you get more visibility, move faster, and stay ahead of real threats. Here’s what’s new.

It seems like every service wants proof you control your domain. Certificate authorities need it to issue certificates. Email platforms need it to authorize sending. Analytics needs it to gather data. Just add this magic TXT record to your DNS, wait for propagation, click verify. It works fine when it’s a one-time setup, but certificate lifetimes are dropping to 47 days, and you won’t be able to keep up on that schedule.

Today, we’re excited to launch two practical tools to help teams quickly understand their AI maturity, quantify AI risk, and gather the evidence executives will ask for in 2026: an interactive AI Security Maturity Survey (with a personalized score and mapped recommendations) and a companion AI Security Compliance Checklist. Both are aligned to industry standards and built to be immediately useful in discovery, audits, and planning.
