The guide categorizes the vendor landscape into four types: cloud-native/CNAPP-native, data-first (DSPM-leaning), AI-agent/copilot posture, and model/ML-runtime defense. Seven evaluation criteria are outlined, with agentless discovery and attack-path prioritization highlighted as the most differentiating. Ten tools are ranked and compared side-by-side: Orca Security, Wiz, Palo Alto Networks, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, CrowdStrike, Tenable, Cyera, Zenity, Cycode, and Sysdig. Most buyers are advised to get AI-SPM as a module inside a broader CNAPP rather than a standalone tool, since AI findings are more actionable when correlated with cloud, identity, and data context. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
