osquery is a SQL powered operating system instrumentation, monitoring, and analytics tool that exposes an operating system as a relational database. Using SQL, you can run queries to gain the status of your entire infrastructure. What’s cool about osquery is how easy it is to use the SQL query interface. kube-query is an open source reporting …

This week at Velocity Berlin, I’ll be giving a talk called A Beginner’s Guide to eBPF. To coincide with it, we’re opening up a new Aqua Security open source project called Tracee, which uses eBPF to trace events in containers. This isn’t something that most developers need to do on a day-to-day basis, but for those …

If you’re interested in container image vulnerability scanning, there’s a good chance that you have come across the Trivy open source scanning tool. This project has been receiving rave reviews for its ease-of-use, as well as its comprehensive vulnerability tracking across both OS packages and language-specific dependencies.  

Infrastructure protection, sandboxed containers, MicroVM hypervisors– these are interchangeable terms describing emerging technologies to isolate micro-services from their underlying infrastructure. These isolation technologies aim to protect the underlying host that runs containers and functions against malicious escape and breakout attempts into other targets on the same host or on the shared infrastructure. They attempt to provide VM-level isolation …

From a “humble” $762 million in 2016, containers are predicted to grow faster than any other technology this year (as well as the next) and are on the way to become a $2.7B industry by 2020.

Here at Aqua Security, we recently released an open source project to help container users manage the metadata associated with their container images. It’s called Manifesto, and it stores free-form metadata in the registry, alongside the images themselves.
