“There are thousands of people here from companies moving to cloud native,” says Liz Rice, vice president of open source engineering at Aqua Security, which provides security for cloud native deployments. “This is changing the dynamic to mature software that people are using in production.” Why is Kubernetes so important? Docker containers made it easy to deploy applications packaged with all their runtime dependencies. But eventually, deploying these containerized applications at a scale of thousands surpasses human ability. Enter the open source container orchestration system Kubernetes, whose main unit is the pod, or group of containers. On the foundation of this “operating system of the cloud,” scores of other open source projects have been launched.
Aqua Security is the pioneer in securing containerized cloud native applications from development to production. Aqua's full lifecycle solution prevents attacks by enforcing pre-deployment hygiene and mitigates attacks in real time in production, reducing mean time to repair and overall business risk. The Aqua Platform, a Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP), integrates security from Code to Cloud, combining the power of agent and agentless technology into a single solution. With enterprise scale that doesn’t slow development pipelines, Aqua secures your future in the cloud. Founded in 2015, Aqua is headquartered in Boston, MA and Ramat Gan, IL protecting over 500 of the world’s largest enterprises.
