Twistlock,
the leading provider of container security solutions, today announced
that it
has released a free version of its signature Container Security Suite
that is aimed at helping individual developers and small organizations
to quickly obtain secure containerization. The free "Developer's
Edition" is available now; information can be found
here.
Many
DevOps innovations today are driven by the desire of developers to
streamline processes and take their innovations to market more quickly
and safely. Containers offer organizations
the speed and agility they require to respond to changing business
needs. By eliminating cost as a deterrent, Developer's Edition further
enables the rapid adoption of container technologies. This in turn will
lead to better and more efficient DevOps implementations
across an organization's entire environment. The free Developer's
Edition is an ideal solution for individual developers or organizations
that are just getting started with container technologies.
"Offering
the DevOps community a free version of our Container Security Suite
will benefit developers and small dev teams that are eager to benefit
from the innovation and agility
that container technologies offer," said Dr. Chenxi Wang, chief
strategy officer for Twistlock. "For those who have been reluctant to
take initial steps because of budget and/or security issues, Developer's
Edition addresses both of those concerns, giving
users a frictionless way to experiment with containers without
compromising their organization's security posture."
The
Developer's Edition is easy to install, is self-servicing and offers
much of the same functionality found in Twistlock's Container Security
Suite. Features include:
- Vulnerability management: Scanning of container
images to discover vulnerabilities that may exist in the various layers
of the image.
- Access control: Fine-grained access control capabilities to guard access to Docker commands.
- Runtime defense: Policy-based protection for production containers.
Developer's
Edition includes open-source threat feeds only and is available without
support. The premium Container Security Suite comes with support and
enterprise-scale usage, and is powered by proprietary threat feeds,
malware scanning
and learning-based advanced runtime threat protection. To request a

Twistlock's
Container Security Suite, which was announced and released in November,
is the only dev-to-production security product available today. The
platform has been adopted by many organizations spanning financial
services, health
care, media, hospitality, consumer technology services and government
agencies. Many of these customers have deployed Twistlock in both
development and mission-critical production environments, using the
software platform to protect live services and valuable
customer data in container environments.
