AetherKube.

Container security, build to runtime — one model.

Cloud-native security across the whole lifecycle: image and IaC scanning, admission control, eBPF runtime detection and automated enforcement, with KSPM posture, network microsegmentation and supply-chain protection. Image scans under 30 seconds, admission under 250ms, sub-3% sensor overhead, 5,000 clusters per control plane — container security suites/runtime security platforms/agentless cloud posture parity, self-hosted and air-gapped.

Build to runtime, one platform.

Cloud-native security fractured into an agentless posture scanner, a runtime sensor, an admission controller and a supply-chain tool — and the gaps between them are where container attacks operate. AetherKube runs the whole lifecycle on one model, so the CVE in the image, the policy at admission and the reverse shell at runtime are one story.

01

Image vulnerability scanning

Multi-ecosystem, layer-aware scanning of container images for vulnerabilities, malware and misconfigurations — in the registry and the pipeline, under a 30-second p95.

02

IaC & config scanning

Kubernetes manifests, Helm charts and IaC tools scanned for misconfigurations and policy violations before they reach a cluster.

03

Admission control

Policy-as-code enforced at the admission webhook — block a non-compliant or vulnerable workload at deploy, under a 250ms p95 so it never slows the pipeline.

04

eBPF runtime sensor

Kernel-level visibility into process, file, network and syscall activity via eBPF — under 3% CPU and 350MB, with no sidecars to inject.

05

Runtime threat detection

Detect cryptomining, reverse shells, container escapes, drift and lateral movement against behavioural baselines and threat intelligence — detection-to-alert under 5 seconds.

06

Automated response & enforcement

Kill a process, isolate a pod, block a connection — detection-to-enforcement under 2 seconds, capability-gated and reversible.

07

Network policy & microsegmentation

Discover service-to-service traffic and generate least-privilege network policies — east-west segmentation without hand-writing YAML.

08

Posture management (KSPM)

Continuous cluster and cloud posture against CIS benchmarks and your policy, with drift detection and prioritised, fixable findings.

09

Supply chain & SBOM

SBOM generation, provenance and signature verification, and malicious-dependency protection across the image supply chain.

10

Secrets & identity

Detect exposed secrets in images and manifests, and surface over-privileged service accounts and RBAC risks across the cluster.

11

Compliance & reporting

PCI, SOC 2, NIST and CIS evidence assembled continuously from the same telemetry, with audit-ready reports.

12

AI security copilot

Explain a finding, write an admission policy, triage a runtime alert and propose the fix — in plain language over the whole cluster estate.

One platform vs the suites

Posture and runtime, not one or the other.

The scanners are weak at runtime; the runtime tools bolt on posture. AetherKube does both on one model — and runs where your clusters run.

FAQ

Good to know.

How is this different from agentless cloud posture or container security suites?

Agentless posture tools (like agentless cloud posture) are strong at scanning and weak at runtime; runtime tools (like container security suites and runtime security platforms) are strong at the sensor and bolt on posture. AetherKube runs the whole lifecycle on one model — image and IaC scanning, admission control, eBPF runtime detection and automated enforcement — so a vulnerability found in the image, blocked at admission and watched at runtime is one finding across one timeline, not three tools.

Will the runtime sensor slow my clusters?

It's eBPF, not a sidecar — kernel-level visibility under 3% CPU typical and 350MB, with no injection into your pods. Admission stays under 250ms p95 so it never becomes the bottleneck in your deploy pipeline.

Can it actually stop an attack, not just alert?

Yes — detection-to-enforcement is under 2 seconds: kill the process, isolate the pod, block the connection. Enforcement is capability-gated and reversible, with every action logged.

Does it run in our environment?

Yes — self-hosted and fully air-gapped, scaling to 5,000+ clusters per control plane, with SBOM, signature verification and compliance evidence generated where your workloads run.

Secure the cluster, build to runtime.

Image to admission to runtime to enforcement, on one model with one finding queue and capability-gated response. Request access to deploy it self-hosted or air-gapped.
