Aqua Security Software Ltd. said today it’s expanding its portfolio of cloud native security products.
The company, which has raised more than $130 million in funding, sells tools that can help to protect container-based, cloud native and serverless applications from malware and malicious attacks.
Aqua’s tools enable developers to automate and improve container security and compliance posture, monitor usage and control user access. They are designed to give users full visibility into container activity, allowing them to detect and prevent attacks and suspicious activity in real time. By integrating with the application lifecycle and orchestration tools, Aqua’s platform can also automate security processes while helping to enforce regulatory compliance.
These kinds of watertight security tools are increasingly in demand in an age when enterprises are becoming more reliant on software containers, which are used by developers to build apps that can run on any computing infrastructure. They’re equally sought after by developers of serverless apps, where the management and allocation of servers and resources are completely managed by cloud providers.
Today’s updates include the launch of a new product called Aqua Wave, which is a software-as-a-service offering that’s designed to secure both applications as they’re being built and the infrastructure they’re deployed on.
