TL;DR Anthropic recently launched Claude Code Security. Using its most advanced model, Claude Opus 4.6, the tool found over 500 high-severity vulnerabilities in production open-source codebases. These are bugs with security implications that had survived decades of expert review, continuous fuzzing, and multiple layers of automated scanning. The cybersecurity market reacted badly: roughly $15 billion …

What if checking your project for vulnerabilities was as simple as asking a question? Or if your coding AI agent could automatically run a scan every time you changed a Dockerfile? The new Trivy MCP Server makes all that possible, and more.

The line between human and machine-generated threats is starting to blur. Aqua Nautilus recently uncovered a malware campaign that hints at this unsettling shift. Koske, a sophisticated Linux threat, shows clear signs of AI-assisted development, likely with help from a large language model. With modular payloads, evasive rootkits, and delivery through weaponized image files, Koske …

The moment your app calls an LLM, it stops being just containerized software, and becomes an entirely new attack surface. Artificial Intelligence is transforming how applications behave and how they need to be secured. As generative AI and large language models (LLMs) become embedded into everything from customer support bots to internal data tools, security …

The promise of cloud native applications lies in their ability to provide enhanced agility, scalability, and resilience, perfectly aligning with the digital transformation needs of today’s enterprises. However, as we navigate this transformation, cloud native application security is often surrounded by myths and misconceptions. Understanding these myths and how they are being addressed is crucial …

The complexity of cloud environments means that there is a virtually infinite list of potential security risks and vulnerabilities that could arise within cloud infrastructure or workloads. That said, some cloud security threats are more prevalent than others – and knowing which risks and vulnerabilities are trending is key to knowing what to prioritize when …

As we begin this new year, we see the landscape of cybersecurity poised to witness a surge in AI-driven attacks, propelling the industry into a rapid cycle of innovation. Defenders are on a quest to develop advanced AI-based security measures, not just to detect and respond to threats in real-time, but to predict and thwart …

Aqua Nautilus researchers discovered a new elusive and severe threat that has been infiltrating and residing on servers worldwide since early September 2021. Known as HeadCrab, this advanced threat actor utilizes a state-of-the-art, custom-made malware that is undetectable by agentless and traditional anti-virus solutions to compromise a large number of Redis servers. The HeadCrab botnet …

Last month Aqua published a blog with the predictions from our Nautilus security research team regarding trends and new threats we are watching for 2023. In case you missed it over the holidays, we’ve included a link at the end of this post – it’s definitely worth the read.

As we think about what Cloud Native security will look like in 2023, we can’t avoid thinking about the old cat-and-mouse game cliché of cyber security. Every year new attacks emerge while new security solutions are created and old security fixes are upgraded. Threat actors constantly append new methods to the old ones, using them …

Fifteen vendors. That’s the number of CNAPPs featured in analyst firm Frost & Sullivan’s recent radar for Cloud Native Application Protection Platforms, the first report to rank CNAPP solution providers to come out at this early stage of the market. Not surprisingly to us, Aqua came out on top (or rather, to the right) when …

Aqua Security is excited to announce that our newly certified integration with CyberArk Conjur Secrets Manger for both Conjur Secrets Manger Enterprise and Conjur Secrets Manager Open Source is now available in the CyberArk Marketplace. This integration makes it even easier for Aqua Security customers to inject secrets that are managed, audited, rotated, and protected …
