## What it is
StackRox is a Kubernetes security platform that performs risk analysis of container environments, delivers visibility and runtime alerts, and provides hardening recommendations. It integrates across the container lifecycle of build, deploy, and runtime.

## Use cases
- secure my kubernetes cluster
- detect runtime threats in containers
- scan container images for vulnerabilities
- get visibility into kubernetes workloads
- harden kubernetes deployments
- monitor container compliance
- find risky configurations in k8s

## When to choose
- you run production Kubernetes or OpenShift clusters and need runtime security monitoring
- you want image vulnerability scanning integrated with deployment policies
- you need risk analysis and hardening recommendations for container environments

## When to avoid
- you only need simple static image scanning without runtime protection
- you are not running containers or Kubernetes
- you need a lightweight CLI-only scanner rather than a full platform

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: active
- function: security, monitoring, alerting, vulnerability-scanning, container-runtime
- domain: security, cloud-computing
- platform: go, self-hosted, cloud
- tags: kubernetes-security, container-security, runtime-detection, risk-analysis, helm, openshift, cncf, containers, devops, kubernetes, docker
