Boston, MA – March 7, 2017 – Aqua Security, provider of the leading platform for securing containerized applications, today announced it has opened up a new office in the greater Boston area.  The office, located in Burlington, MA is home base for Aqua’s rapidly expanding sales and technical team, complementing Aqua’s U.S. Headquarters in San Francisco.
“We are delighted to be opening up a Boston office” said Dror Davidoff, co-founder and CEO, Aqua Security.  “We see the new office as a way for Aqua to stay close to customers and plant roots into the business community.”

In May 2016, Aqua launched its flagship offering, The Aqua Container Security Platform, delivering the industry’s most comprehensive solution for securing containerized applications.  Built specifically to address the challenges of visibility, control, compliance, intrusion detection and intrusion prevention in container environments, Aqua delivers a scalable, easy-to-deploy solution that provides full visibility into container activity and robust policy enforcement capabilities, while remaining transparent and non-intrusive to DevOps.

Since its launch Aqua has achieved significant growth and customer adoption. Numerous Fortune 500 customers in the financial services, technology, retail and online services sectors are already using the Aqua platform to secure production environments and embed security into their container development and delivery cycle. The company plans to double its staff by mid-2017, with roughly 25% of those positions anticipated to be based in Boston.

In addition to Aqua’s strong market traction, the company recently won the Silver award for Startup of the Year by Information Security Products Guide.
