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?”

Cloud Workload Protection Platforms (CWPPs), now part of the emerging category of Cloud Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPPs), are designed to secure different types of cloud workloads — such as VMs, containers, and serverless functions — deployed in public, hybrid, or multi-cloud environments. In this …

The management of Virtual Machines (VMs) in the cloud is not like anything else in your cloud native environment. Traditional host-based security methods used for VMs running on physical servers relied on agents to perform functions that simply do not exist in cloud native environments. In addition, cloud instances …

In the four short years since we launched Aqua and started our cloud native journey, we have all experienced dramatic change. During this time, we brought several new products to market. We witnessed the rise of Docker, then its decline. We recognized the growing popularity of Kubernetes and pivoted our capabilities …

In the spectrum of deployment options available for cloud native applications, the most widely used option, at least presently, is running containers on VMs that use the Linux operating system (or less frequently, bare-metal servers running Linux).

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 …
