Unveiling Aqua Vulnerability Database, Strengthen Your K8s Clusters

Published sources of vulnerabilities in cloud native environments are an important resource, but the information is often spread out across a variety of platforms. Since 80% of cloud native software is based on open source, this makes getting the most relevant and up-to-date vulnerability information a real challenge. Our new Aqua Vulnerability Database (AVD) consolidates …

Evaluating and Enforcing Least Privilege in Kubernetes with Aqua KSPM

Overly permissive defaults associated with roles and K8s subjects, such as service accounts, add risks to the attack surface of Kubernetes. And attempting to manually understand these risks and enforce least privilege rights in a Kubernetes environment is time-consuming and prone to human error. With the introduction of Kubernetes Security Posture Management (KSPM), we’ve now …

Threat Alert: Fileless Malware Executing in Containers

Security Threat

Our cyber research team detected a new type of attack that executes and runs malware straight from memory in containers, thus evading common defenses and static scanning. This malware is using a rootkit to hide its running processes, then hijacks resources by executing a crypto miner from memory — leaving a backdoor that enables attackers …

Secure your Digital Transformation on Amazon EKS-Distro with Aqua

Threat Alert: Market-First Container Image Built to Attack Kubernetes Clusters

Aqua’s Team Nautilus has uncovered a container image that, for the first time, allows bad actors to find and exploit vulnerabilities in Kubernetes clusters. The attackers propagate this malware through a Docker Hub lookalike account intended to dupe developers into downloading malicious images. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first known case …

Cloud Security Posture Management

Auto-Remediation for Secure Configuration in Azure Cloud

Each day, Aqua monitors millions of cloud infrastructure changes for misconfigurations, and control-plane events for security issues or malicious activity in our users’ cloud accounts. But we’ve learned that just identifying misconfigurations is not enough to protect cloud assets in a modern fast-paced environment. Operating efficiently at scale requires fixing security issues on the fly. …

Operationalize Your Cloud Native Security with Aqua’s New Dashboard

Utilizing advanced cloud native tools without the ability to effectively unify, track, and display current conditions can create significant gaps in your security coverage. By ensuring complete visibility into your security posture across your environment, you can quickly identify key issues and prioritize them for resolution. Our latest installment of Aqua Enterprise includes a unified …
