Vulnerability scanning, system integrity verification, and compliance checks must happen in real-time to prevent attacks before they escalate. This is where Codenotary’s Guardian stands out, offering a staggering 630x speed advantage over traditional tools like OpenSCAP.
OpenSCAP, a well-known open-source security compliance tool, performs comprehensive vulnerability scans based on Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP). While OpenSCAP is effective, its reliance on XML-based policies and heavy resource consumption slows down the process, particularly in environments with thousands of containers, systems, or applications. Running OpenSCAP on a large-scale system can take several minutes to complete a scan, making it difficult to keep up with real-time security demands.
In contrast, Codenotary’s Guardian leverages our unique immudb (https://www.immudb.io) database which enables zip-zap speed processing. Guardian’s approach eliminates the XML parsing bottleneck, dramatically reducing the time it takes to validate the integrity of every component. Thanks to this innovative architecture, Guardian completes in 0.3 seconds what OpenSCAP takes 3 to 4 minutes to achieve — making it 630 times faster, and sometimes more.
