Uptycs CNAPP review
Modular CNAPP coverage spanning discovery, posture, code-to-cloud, and runtime protection.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Uptycs CNAPP is a cloud-native application protection platform for security and development teams securing hybrid-cloud applications across AWS, Azure, and GCP. It combines agentless asset discovery, cloud and Kubernetes posture management, identity and entitlement analysis, vulnerability scanning, code-to-cloud provenance, runtime protection, threat detection, response, and forensic investigation. Its scope suits organizations that want modular coverage from development through runtime rather than separate tools for each security layer.
Pricing is structured by coverage level and workload type. Discover — Workload starts at $3 per workload per month with annual billing, while Discover — Cloud Workload starts at $5 per cloud workload per month. Audit adds security risk assessments, compliance and vulnerability scanning, attack paths, alerting, reporting, and historical analysis at $6 per workload or $10 per cloud workload per month, billed annually. Secure adds runtime protection, cloud detection and response, anomaly detection, threat intelligence, incident response, and forensics; pricing requires a request. This progression makes it possible to begin with inventory and expand into risk and runtime controls.
The standout value is the connection between asset context, software provenance, identity, attack paths, and runtime telemetry. Integrations include ServiceNow, Jira, Slack, Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, Elastic Security, IBM QRadar, AWS Security Hub, AWS GuardDuty, Google Cloud Command Center, and Okta, supporting common security and response workflows. Teams seeking posture, code-to-cloud visibility, and workload protection in one platform should consider Uptycs CNAPP. Organizations wanting a free entry tier, a narrowly focused security tool, or transparent Secure pricing should look elsewhere.
