Cyber Security is cyclical. For years now cloud security has been focused on visibility: perform the scans, collect the data, generate the alerts, centralize the dashboards. That made sense when cloud native was new and teams were still figuring out how to operate in containers, Kubernetes, and ephemeral infrastructure. But the environment has changed.

It’s humbling to see customers adopt Aqua’s cloud security vision. It’s humbling to see our predictions come true, doubly so when competitors start to follow us. The proof came over the last few months as cloud visibility vendors either released their own agent or partnered with an agent provider. This validates what we all know: …

RSA 2023 revealed a much-needed change in perception: cloud native security requires one integrated approach. Finally, a consensus. If you care about cloud security, you care about the lifecycle of your cloud applications. This lifecycle has two fundamental parts: building applications and running them. To secure your applications you need to secure the entire application …

CNAPP is projected to be one of the biggest security categories ever – a $25 to $30B market. Why? Enterprises are continuing to move applications to the cloud while adopting cloud native practices, necessitating new security measures. At the same time, CISOs are under pressure to consolidate tools for better security and operational efficiency.

A prospect’s CISO recently asked me: “I’m facing a growing stream of vulnerabilities coming from our CI/CD pipelines on the one hand, while our SecOps team is flooded with alerts and configuration issues from our production environment. How do I reconcile those separate streams and focus on what’s really important?” “Well,” I responded, “funny you …

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 …

Istio, Google’s open source project for large scale, containerized application management was released in May 2017 and has undergone rapid development since then, culminating in the landmark 1.0 release in July 2018. In this blog post we will be exploring what Istio is, how it works and how to adopt it. In subsequent articles in …

Cloud native workloads terminology is used a lot these days to describe new technologies and deployment models of applications in the cloud universe. Serverless is a notable example of such cloud native-workloads: it prioritizes simplicity and agility over compatibility, control, and performance SLAs. It’s a revolutionary concept that abstracts away infrastructure concerns and provides a …
