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 …
With serverless functions architecture gaining in popularity, it is also becoming clear that the architecture is not without its security drawbacks. Overly permissive permissions, vulnerability in the functions’ code, and embedded secrets could all be exploited. Despite being event-triggered and ephemeral by …
The AWS Security Hub SecOps tool provides a comprehensive view of security and compliance alerts across various AWS accounts. Security findings are collected and summarized on integrated dashboards, allowing security professionals to continuously monitor their environment using automated compliance checks. The …
Managing a growing number of systems and applications can be complicated and time consuming, making it particularly important to find a way to centralize and optimize your data. As a result, AWS has recently released FireLens which, working with Fluentd and Fluent Bit, allows you to route your logs to a large …
In order to protect serverless functions while they are running, you need to consider the very short execution times and ensure that you’re not slowing down applications or increasing cloud usage costs. In Aqua CSP 4.2, we’ve now introduced advanced runtime protection that does just that, while complementing our …
We’re excited to be launch partners for AWS App Mesh, officially announced today at the Santa Clara AWS Summit. Aqua provides fine-grained protection to microservices-based applications that use AWS App Mesh, by ensuring that the microservices infrastructure conforms to the organization’s security policy, and by …
In support of Amazon’s announcement this week at re:Invent surrounding the new AWS Container Marketplace, we’ve made the Aqua Container Security Platform available for on-demand consumption (pay as you go), via the newly minted AWS Container category in the Marketplace.
We have several new listings in the AWS …
A few months ago we launched the Aqua MicroEnforcer, the first solution for providing runtime protection to a container running in Containers-as-a-Service platforms like AWS Fargate or Azure Container Instances. The mechanism I wrote about at the time involved building a protected version of a container image being …
Amazon’s managed Kubernetes service, EKS, recently went GA. Here are a few things I learnt spinning up an EKS cluster for the first time, and running the kube-bench tests on it.
Back in March we announced Aqua MicroEnforcer, a new deployment technology that enabled us to secure runtime workload running on AWS Fargate and Azure Container Instances. Since then we’ve seen a lot of interest from customers who see these services not only as a way to deploy containers on demand for spillover …
AWS made its Elastic Container Services for Kubernetes (EKS) generally available today. We at Aqua had access to the preview version for some time, which allowed us to ensure that our container security platform works with EKS to provide its full spectrum of runtime protection capabilities.
