#### WHITE PAPER

# Comparing RAD Security to OPA

![KSOC White Paper (3)](https://blog.rad.security/hs-fs/hubfs/KSOC%20White%20Paper%20(3).png?width=485&height=488&name=KSOC%20White%20Paper%20(3).png)

Download the guide to find out how RAD Security (formerly KSOC) provides insight into malicious insiders, top prioritization of risk and a clear UI, versus the open source project OPA, which is a Kubernetes policy engine.

You will see how each differs across:

- Admission Control
- Threat Vectors
- Compliance
- RBAC and Cloud IAM Permissions
- Management
