Kivera: cybersecurity software

Acquired by Cloudflare. Kivera is not strictly speaking a CSPM, but provides granular controls over what cloud API calls are permissible within your environment. This allows instant enforcement of custom rules and policies, giving the same outcomes as CSPMs without the alert explosion. The downside of using them as a sole CSPM would be missing out on more holistic CNAPP features and visibility, but they run well alongside other providers.

How to evaluate Kivera in a security program

Use Kivera as a stack candidate, not as diligence evidence. The oneNorma score for Kivera is 5/10 (percentile 46). If the real gap is in CSPM, IaC, and Identity, a dashboard does not replace a pentest or a control mapped to Law 21.663 or ISO 27001. Compare this profile with what www.kivera.io publishes. Contrast it with pentesting and Security Cloud & Compliance.
