Aqua News 5 Container Security Tools to Safeguard Apps, Environments

The Aqua Security enterprise security platform safeguards cloud-native applications and infrastructures, including containers, VMs and serverless computing workloads. The platform offers full development-to-production protection across the entire continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline. This gives organizations full visibility and control over their application activity, while helping to bridge the gap between DevOps and security.

An Aqua Security deployment includes the software components necessary to protect applications throughout their lifecycles. For example, the platform includes advanced scanning functionality for verifying whether VMs, functions and container images have vulnerabilities. Organizations can also define policies that determine which of these components they can deploy in their environment. To protect container runtimes, the platform uses machine learning to profile and whitelist good container behavior and then takes steps to prevent unauthorized behavior.

Aqua Security provides full-stack protection against misconfigurations and attacks, as well as ensures the system runs only trusted code. The platform offers granular, role-based user access control and zero-touch deployment and management. It also supports scalable automation by providing a RESTful API for integrating third-party tools and services such as orchestrators, registries, container platforms and DevOps applications.

Organizations can implement Aqua Security on premises or on a cloud platform with a provider such as AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure or IBM Cloud.
