We’re excited to announce that Aqua Security has received the Deployed on AWS badge, a new designation from AWS that highlights software solutions successfully deployed by customers on AWS. The badge recognizes that Aqua’s CNAPP is not only available in the AWS Marketplace but also actively deployed and delivering value to enterprise customers across industries. …

Cloud adoption has transformed the enterprise IT landscape, but that transformation has not followed a clean or linear path. Instead of standardizing on a single platform, most organizations now operate across a patchwork of public clouds, private data centers, and legacy systems. Hybrid and multi cloud strategies have become the norm, not by design but …

What if the biggest risk to your cloud environment wasn’t a misconfiguration you made, but one baked into the defaults? Our research uncovered security concerns in the deployment of resources within a few AWS services, specifically in the default AWS service roles. These roles, often created automatically or recommended during setup, grant overly broad permissions, …

As organizations advance in their cloud native journey, the adoption of AWS Fargate for ECS (Elastic Container Service) and EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) increases. Many customers begin their cloud journey with Amazon ECS, with around 65% of new AWS container customers opting for ECS. This popularity is driven by Fargate’s serverless compute engine, which allows …

During February 2024, we discovered critical vulnerabilities in six AWS services. The impact of these vulnerabilities range between remote code execution (RCE), full-service user takeover (which might provide powerful administrative access), manipulation of AI modules, exposing sensitive data, data exfiltration and denial of service. 

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) streamlines the process of deploying, managing, and scaling Kubernetes clusters on Amazon Web Services (AWS), sparing users the complexities of setting up and maintaining their own Kubernetes control plane. Kubernetes itself is an open-source platform designed to automate the management, scaling, and deployment of applications within containers.   

In the ever-expanding realm of AWS, with over 200 services at your disposal, securing your cloud account configurations and mastering complex environments can feel like an overwhelming challenge. To help you prioritize and root them out, we’ve put together a guide for AWS configurations that are most commonly overlooked. Here are five of the top …

Enabling Customers with Visibility and Remediation at Scale As the pioneer in cloud native security, Aqua has been at the forefront of CNAPP innovation. Today, we are pleased to announce our integration with Amazon Security Lake.   This integration allows customers the insights needed to determine their risk posture across all their AWS cloud workloads. …

The move to cloud native changed the daily operations of security teams. This shift requires teams to monitor the risk embedded within cloud environments, which increases the noise level, and piles up thousands of security issues to handle. This new reality requires different measures to handle relevant incidents based on the risk they impose and …

Containers as a Service (CaaS) like AWS Fargate have proven to be a valuable mechanism for DevOps teams to build and deploy complex applications at scale. By removing the need for infrastructure management and security, customers can also reduce development costs using AWS Fargate.

Security operators are getting overloaded with alerts and information coming from a variety of sources. Without proper automation and triage, this information often gets lost and unactioned upon. With Postee, this can be remediated with automating commonly taken operator actions ahead of time.

Every cloud provider has different resources that require detailed understanding to scan for security issues. To make this easier, cloud providers offer built-in security scanners. However, those may often lack functionality and integration into your existing stack.
