Last year, Argon set out on an exciting mission to solve one of the industry’s most urgent problems: secure the way companies build and release software. Today, we’re thrilled to hit another milestone on this journey as we join forces with Aqua Security, the well-known leader in cloud native security. This extraordinary accomplishment not only …

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a well-known compliance framework for any organization handling payment card data. However, translating the PCI DSS requirements into the world of containers and Kubernetes can be overwhelming. In this post, we break down how containerized applications impact PCI DSS compliance and how to meet its …

For many years, threat actors have been using legitimate remote access tools (RATs) in their campaigns, tricking users into installing them to get full control over the victims’ systems. Similarly, in the cloud native world, attackers are increasingly targeting user interface (UI) tools to gain access to Docker and Kubernetes instances. In this blog, we’ll …

As an open source runtime security tool, Tracee provides a base rule set that can detect a variety of attacks. However, there’s often the need to add new rules either to contribute to the project or to provide specific rules for your environment. Because Tracee allows for new rules to be written in Rego and …

A prospect’s CISO recently asked me: “I’m facing a growing stream of vulnerabilities coming from our CI/CD pipelines on the one hand, while our SecOps team is flooded with alerts and configuration issues from our production environment. How do I reconcile those separate streams and focus on what’s really important?” “Well,” I responded, “funny you …

Today, Aqua announced the addition of a new, industry-leading detection and response capability to its Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP), called Cloud Native Detection and Response (CNDR). CNDR uses real-time behavioral indicators from Aqua’s cyber research team, Nautilus, to identify zero-day attacks from low-level eBPF events surfaced by Aqua’s open source project Tracee. Combined …

Cloud native development brings tremendous benefits of speed and agility, but existing security approaches break down as organizations migrate their workloads to containers. What fundamental capabilities do you need to secure modern applications deployed in these increasingly dynamic environments? Use our cloud native security checklist to discover the key concepts of cloud native security and …

The cloud native threat landscape is evolving fast, with 50% of vulnerable targets getting attacked within only one hour. While adversaries are constantly advancing their techniques to craft more sophisticated and targeted attacks, organizations are leaving themselves exposed. Aqua’s 2021 Cloud Native Threat Report analyzes attacks observed in the wild and identifies major trends in …

The availability of AWS CloudFormation Public Registry makes it possible to manage Aqua components using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) workflows just as easily as AWS resource types. You can now seamlessly automate how you deploy and update Aqua as native resource types across multiple accounts and regions.

The past couple of years have seen a rise in software supply chain attacks, with the most salient example being the Solarwinds attack. As production environments have gained multiple layers of protection, and much of the attention of security teams, malicious actors have set their sights on “poisoning the well”, i.e., target where applications are …

With the move to cloud native development comes potentially increased risk of services that are exposed to the Internet and can easily be discovered by attackers. When combined with the fast pace of change in Kubernetes versions, there’s real risk of being one vulnerability away from a security incident. Recently I carried out some research …

In my previous post, I covered how you can secure your CI/CD pipeline with Tracee from potentially malicious code executions. We’re now releasing Tracee GitHub Action, which makes using Tracee a plug-n-play experience and doesn’t require any prior knowledge of eBPF or Docker. We’re also introducing a new capability to profile the normal behavior of …
