Today, AWS announced the general availability of ECS Anywhere; a simple but powerful extension of AWS Elastic Container Service (ECS) to manage containers wherever they run – Aqua has been working closely with AWS to deliver a unified security experience for ECS Anywhere so enterprises can embrace the cloud native deployment models that make the …

Anyone looking to improve the security posture of their cloud native applications knows that a vulnerability scanner is an important tool to add to the toolkit. Automating vulnerability scanning into your build pipeline can reduce the likelihood of successful attacks and help protect your containerized workloads. There are many scanning tools available today, both open …

In recent years, I have been I using a project called BCC to compile, load, and interact with my bpf programs. I have recently learned about a better way to build ebpf projects called libbpf. There are a few good resources to use when developing libbpf based programs but getting started can still be quite …

eBPF is a powerful and exciting technology that allows developers to add custom code to strategic points in the Linux kernel and interact with it by writing simple C or Go programs. The eBPF programs you write and run can inspect data in the memory of processes they attach to. In order to do so, …

The National Vulnerability Database (NVD), while a valuable source of vulnerability information, is inadequate for today’s cloud native ecosystem and the teams tasked with protecting it. The complex array of platforms, technologies, and deployment methodologies at play in cloud native environments means that detecting and remediating vulnerabilities (e.g., CVEs) does not eliminate all potential attack …

Today we reached an important milestone in our 5-year history – in a single funding round we’ve more than doubled our venture funding to date and achieved a valuation of $1Bn, often referred to as “unicorn” status. While I’m thrilled to have reached this milestone with Aqua, it’s not the valuation itself that I’m proud …

As no individual, business, or government is immune from being the victim of the next large-scale cyberattack, organizations need capabilities to help identify, contain, and investigate what seems like an inevitable incident. By performing forensic analysis, you can gain and leverage valuable insights to take the right steps to contain and mitigate the attack while …

With no shortage of attacks targeting the cloud native stack, having a holistic view of your environment is paramount to contain and mitigate the attack, as well as to perform forensic analysis after the fact. In order to provide you with deeper insights into malicious and suspicious activity in your cloud native environment, we joined …

Utilizing advanced cloud native tools without the ability to effectively unify, track, and display current conditions can create significant gaps in your security coverage. By ensuring complete visibility into your security posture across your environment, you can quickly identify key issues and prioritize them for resolution. Our latest installment of Aqua Enterprise includes a unified …

Back in June 2020, we released Starboard – an open source toolkit that integrates security tools into a Kubernetes environment. We’re now happy to announce a new Starboard Operator that automates the generation of security reports in your K8s cluster. Using Starboard Operator, you can rely on the tools you’re already familiar with, like kubectl, …

We’ve been working with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to extend the Aqua cloud native security platform to support AWS Bottlerocket — a purpose-built, Linux-based, open source OS for running containers on virtual machines or bare metal hosts — which is now GA. This combined effort ensures that AWS customers who use this new OS will …

Enterprise environments often consist of multiple teams working on different cloud native projects and applications. Each such team will work on its own assets, such as container images or functions, and use separate CI pipelines. Yet, in the end, they will often run on the same cloud infrastructure. When it comes to managing security for …
