Tel Aviv, Israel, August 1, 2017 – Container security specialist Aqua Security announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named it to its 2017 Emerging Vendors list in the Security category. CRN’s long standing and esteemed list recognizes recently founded, up-and-coming technology suppliers that are shaping the future of the IT channel through unique technological innovations.
“This impressive group of technology supplier startups is already disrupting the status quo, aggressively creating and innovating to meet the ever-changing demands of the IT market,” said Robert Faletra, CEO of The Channel Company. “CRN’s 2017 Emerging Vendors represent the next generation of IT change agents, producing a wide range of leading-edge products that solution providers should keep an eye on in the coming year and beyond.”
Aqua’s flagship solution, The Aqua Container Security Platform, provides development-to-production lifecycle controls for securing containerized applications that run on-premises or in the cloud, on Windows or Linux, supporting multiple orchestration environments. Architected specifically to address the challenges of visibility, control, isolation, intrusion detection and intrusion prevention in container environments while remaining transparent and non-intrusive to DevOps, Aqua’s container security platform allows organizations to reap the business benefits of containers without increasing their risk profile.
“We are honored that CRN named us as Emerging Vendor in the security space,” said Rani Osnat, VP of Marketing, Aqua Security. “In less than two years, the container security market has become one of the fastest growing and exciting frontiers for application security. When it comes to container security and microservices, the potential for the channel is massive. We look forward to working with our partners to continue to develop useful and lucrative value-added services that propel our businesses forward.”
In addition to celebrating these standout companies, the Emerging Vendors list serves as a valuable resource for solution providers looking to expand their portfolios with cutting-edge technology.
