ARMO

ARMO is the cloud-native and Kubernetes security company behind the leading open-source project Kubescape. ARMO Platform is a runtime-driven CNAPP that unifies Kubernetes Security Posture Management (KSPM), vulnerability and image scanning, compliance frameworks, network and seccomp policy generation, and runtime Cloud Application Detection and Response (CADR) - correlating runtime behavior with posture and vulnerabilities to cut alert noise. ARMO exposes a documented REST API over HTTPS (base https://api.armosec.io/api/v1 in the EU region and https://api.us.armosec.io/api/v1 in the US region), authenticated with an account access key sent in the X-API-KEY header. The API covers clusters, workloads, vulnerabilities, posture and compliance, security risks, runtime incidents, attack chains, network and runtime policies, registry scanning, and integrations. API access is available to platform customers who have generated an Agent Access Key; the endpoints below are documented but the data returned requires a connected account and clusters.

ARMO publishes 8 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Access Keys API, Clusters API, Integrations API, and 5 more. Tagged areas include Kubernetes Security, Cloud Native Security, CNAPP, DevSecOps, and KSPM.

ARMO’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, engineering blog, and 8 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/armosec: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
