# ARMO

> ARMO is an Israeli cloud runtime security company that built Kubescape, the first security scanner accepted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation and one of the most widely adopted open-source Kubernetes tools. It uses that free, eBPF-powered sensor as the foundation for a paid Behavioral Cloud Application Detection and Response (CADR) platform that watches what code actually does at runtime - from the exploited line of application code to the cloud API where the data lives - and cuts through the alert noise that buries most security teams.

- **Founded:** 2019
- **Headquarters:** Tel Aviv, Israel
- **Founders:** Shauli Rozen (CEO & Co-Founder), Ben Hirschberg (CTO & Co-Founder), Leonid Sandler (Co-Founder)
- **Team size:** ~110 employees
- **Products:** Kubescape, ARMO Platform, ARMO CADR (Behavioral Cloud Application Detection & Response)
- **Notable:** Created Kubescape, the first security scanner ever accepted by the CNCF, Kubescape reached CNCF Incubation status in 2025, 11,000+ GitHub stars and 100,000+ deployments across 40,000+ companies

## Products & services

- **Kubescape** — Open-source Kubernetes security platform for IDEs, CI/CD pipelines, and running clusters. Scans clusters, YAML, and Helm charts for misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and RBAC risks, and explains why controls fail. The first security scanner accepted by the CNCF; now a CNCF Incubating project with 11,000+ GitHub stars.
- **ARMO Platform** — Commercial SaaS built on Kubescape - adds runtime-driven vulnerability prioritization, attack path visualization, compliance management, RBAC insights, and multi-cloud support, including on-premises and air-gapped deployments.
- **ARMO CADR (Behavioral Cloud Application Detection & Response)** — Runtime security platform that records a behavioral baseline of applications using an eBPF sensor (the Application Profile DNA), then detects and responds to known and unknown anomalies - tracing threats from the exploited line of application code to the cloud API where data resides.

## Achievements
