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.
SMB and mid-market teams with container-heavy infrastructure need YaraHunter for malware detection that actually integrates into CI/CD without slowing the pipeline; rule caching and Docker socket integration let you scan at build time and runtime without reinventing your workflow. The tool maps directly to NIST ID.RA and DE.CM, meaning you're getting risk assessment and continuous monitoring without the overhead of larger platforms. Skip this if you need runtime behavior analysis or post-exploitation detection; YaraHunter is signature-based and won't catch zero-days or lateral movement inside containers.
