We’re excited to announce that Aqua Security has received the Deployed on AWS badge, a new designation from AWS that highlights software solutions successfully deployed by customers on AWS. The badge recognizes that Aqua’s CNAPP is not only available in the AWS Marketplace but also actively deployed and delivering value to enterprise customers across industries. If you are building and scaling cloud native applications on AWS, you need solutions that are trusted, production ready, and designed to integrate with how you deploy and secure workloads.
Aqua is proud to have earned this badge for the Aqua Platform, our cloud native application protection platform (CNAPP). This designation reflects our successful deployments across enterprise AWS environments and recognizes our ability to help secure containers, serverless functions, and AI-driven applications throughout the entire lifecycle from code to cloud to prompt.
Why the “Deployed on AWS” Badge Matters
The AWS Marketplace Deployed on AWS badge is more than a logo. It signals that customers are using Aqua in production environments on AWS today. It provides new customers with added confidence that Aqua has been tested and deployed successfully within AWS architectures, and that we meet the standards AWS sets for security, operational excellence, and scalability. Aqua is proud to be among the early recipients of this designation.
The Challenges of Securing Containers, Serverless, and AI Workloads
Containers and serverless functions introduce a new set of challenges for cloud security. Unlike virtual machines where operating system parameters are fixed, containers allow developers to package operating system components directly into the application image. This gives developers greater control but also shifts security considerations to earlier stages of the lifecycle. The frequent use of open source components introduces potential vulnerabilities, and because containers and functions are shipped through fast moving CI and CD pipelines, security must keep up with high volume deployments and rapid iteration.
Microservices architectures, often implemented using containers and serverless technologies, also transform how applications communicate internally. Traditional network perimeters no longer apply. Instead, traffic flows dynamically between short lived entities like containers, functions, and pods. These workloads are frequently orchestrated across multiple regions or clouds, scale up and down on demand, and may only run for a few seconds at a time. Security tools that rely on static rules or visibility into persistent infrastructure are simply not equipped to handle this level of complexity. They lack the application context needed to distinguish legitimate behavior from real threats.
The emergence of artificial intelligence workloads introduces even more complexity. Models may be sourced from external repositories, embedded into services, or fine-tuned internally. They may run as part of serverless functions, inside containers, or behind exposed APIs. The threats include prompt injection, model tampering, data leakage, and misuse of sensitive AI outputs. Security teams need visibility into model artifacts, control over how they are used, and protection for AI workloads in real-time. Like containerized applications, AI workloads are constantly evolving and rely heavily on open source, which increases the risk surface.
Despite these challenges, modern application design also brings advantages. Containers and functions are immutable, meaning they are not patched in place. All updates flow in one direction from development to production. If something needs to be fixed, it is addressed at the source, not at runtime. This immutability helps organizations enforce consistency, reduce drift, and more easily identify when anomalies occur.
Enterprise-Ready Cloud Security Delivered Natively on AWS
Many of our customers are building and securing complex, distributed applications in AWS. The Aqua Platform provides full lifecycle protection for these workloads, helping customers:
- Shift security left by embedding scanning and policy enforcement into CI and CD pipelines
- Secure the software supply chain, including containers, infrastructure as code, and registries
- Discover and secure AI workloads by identifying what is already deployed, setting policies to govern their use, and protecting them in real time
- Protect workloads at runtime with a lightweight, eBPF-powered agent that detects and stops real threats
- Enforce governance and compliance across accounts and regions with visibility and control at scale
Whether deployed using CloudFormation, Terraform, or container orchestration tools like ECS and EKS, Aqua integrates seamlessly with your AWS environment.
