Why Agent vs Agentless is a False Choice

This blog post compares agent-based and agentless cloud-native security approaches, summarizing trade-offs in visibility, response capability, and implementation effort. It describes common agentless starting points (like IaC scanning, API-based checks, and admission controllers), deeper agent-style options (sidecars, containers, eBPF), and advises selecting an approach based on application criticality and risk tolerance; the post also promotes Aqua's platform (CNAPP) for unified visibility and protection.
