## What it is
NeuVector is an open-source full lifecycle container security platform providing vulnerability management and automated runtime security with a Layer 7 container firewall. It deploys as manager, controller, enforcer, and scanner components on Kubernetes and integrates with Rancher.

## Use cases
- detect and block threats in running kubernetes containers
- scan container images for vulnerabilities in ci/cd
- segment container traffic with a layer 7 firewall
- monitor runtime behavior of pods for anomalies
- secure kubernetes clusters with self-hosted tooling

## When to choose
- you run kubernetes or docker workloads and need runtime protection plus image scanning in one platform
- you use Rancher and want an integrated container security solution

## When to avoid
- you need host-level or endpoint security beyond containers
- you want a lightweight single-binary scanner rather than a multi-component platform

## Facets
