Aqua Security has extended its container security platform to include a virtual patching capability, dubbed Vulnerability Shield, which enables DevSecOps teams to temporarily block access to software components until a patch can be delivered.
At the same time, version 4.2 of Aqua CSP, its cloud-native security platform, has been enhanced to provide runtime protection for serverless functions, which prevents individuals who may have gained access to cloud computing credentials from injecting malicious code into functions on a public cloud. Support for the AWS Lambda serverless framework is now available, with additional support planned for Microsoft Azure Functions and Google Cloud Functions planned for later this year.
