Checkov focuses on infrastructure as code security checks. Checkov is most valuable before infrastructure changes reach production. Finding an overly permissive cloud resource in a pull request is cheaper than discovering it after deployment. Large infrastructure repositories can generate many policy exceptions. Without clear ownership, teams may start suppressing checks rather than improving their templates.
Kubescape addresses Kubernetes security posture and risk. Kubescape gives Kubernetes teams a useful starting point for checking cluster misconfigurations against security expectations. A good score does not mean the cluster is protected at runtime; findings still need operational context.
