In recent years, I have been I using a project called BCC to compile, load, and interact with my bpf programs. I have recently learned about a better way to build ebpf projects called libbpf. There are a few good resources to use when developing libbpf based programs but getting started can still be quite …

eBPF is a powerful and exciting technology that allows developers to add custom code to strategic points in the Linux kernel and interact with it by writing simple C or Go programs. The eBPF programs you write and run can inspect data in the memory of processes they attach to. In order to do so, …

Aqua has been securing Amazon ECS workloads throughout its evolution and now we are expanding our support to secure Amazon’s new ECS Exec; a simple, secure, and auditable way to execute commands into containers. This new capability extends Aqua’s runtime protection features, including drift prevention, to ensure that legitimate access to containers is allowed while still …

Today we reached an important milestone in our 5-year history – in a single funding round we’ve more than doubled our venture funding to date and achieved a valuation of $1Bn, often referred to as “unicorn” status. While I’m thrilled to have reached this milestone with Aqua, it’s not the valuation itself that I’m proud …

As no individual, business, or government is immune from being the victim of the next large-scale cyberattack, organizations need capabilities to help identify, contain, and investigate what seems like an inevitable incident. By performing forensic analysis, you can gain and leverage valuable insights to take the right steps to contain and mitigate the attack while …

With no shortage of attacks targeting the cloud native stack, having a holistic view of your environment is paramount to contain and mitigate the attack, as well as to perform forensic analysis after the fact. In order to provide you with deeper insights into malicious and suspicious activity in your cloud native environment, we joined …

With 175 different services available on AWS alone, many enterprises are struggling to protect their large and increasingly complex cloud environments. To operate efficiently at scale, you need to continuously find and fix security issues across your entire cloud infrastructure. That’s where the concept of Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) comes into play.

The cloud is fundamental for digital transformation, but for many organizations, a hybrid approach is preferred. This ideally allows you to use the very same foundational tools on-prem as your destination in the cloud. Well, now you can do just that with Amazon EKS-Distro (EKS-D), a new Kubernetes distribution that enables you to run the …

Enterprise environments often consist of multiple teams working on different cloud native projects and applications. Each such team will work on its own assets, such as container images or functions, and use separate CI pipelines. Yet, in the end, they will often run on the same cloud infrastructure. When it comes to managing security for …

Windows containers have recently been gaining a lot of popularity, especially in the delivery of .NET applications and SQL server containers. Aqua Security has been working diligently with the Google Cloud team to support the launch of the new Windows GKE. This allows Aqua users to secure their GKE deployments using both Windows and Linux …

With cloud native technologies quickly evolving and with their high adoption rate, security practices are falling behind, are not being fully applied, and in some cases, applied too late. As a result, customers pay a high, albeit avoidable price. Aqua Cloud Native Security Platform uniquely addresses these challenges and in this blog we will discuss …
