Anchore Secure is a commercial container security tool by Anchore. ClearVector Sensor is a commercial container security tool by ClearVector. Compare features, ratings, integrations, and community reviews side by side to find the best container security fit for your security stack.
CST VerdictBased on our analysis of NIST CSF 2.0 coverage, core features, integrations, company size fit, here is our conclusion:
Mid-market and enterprise teams with strict vulnerability governance will get the most from Anchore Secure, specifically its ability to track historical vulnerability exposure without forcing rescans of every image each time a new CVE drops. The SBOM generation through Syft and policy-based compliance checks directly address NIST ID.RA risk assessment requirements. Skip this if your team needs runtime threat detection; Anchore is a scanning and inventory tool, not a behavioral enforcement platform.
Mid-market and enterprise teams running containerized workloads across Kubernetes, ECS, or EKS will get the most from ClearVector Sensor because it attributes runtime activity to specific identities and workloads instead of just flagging suspicious behavior. The eBPF-based architecture runs with minimal resource overhead while supporting both AMD64 and ARM64, and the interactive command tracing through SSH, SSM, and ECS exec gives forensics teams the identity context most runtime sensors lack. This tool prioritizes detection and investigation over automated response; it won't help if you need out-of-the-box remediation or policy enforcement built in.
