Twistlock,
the leading provider of cloud container security solutions, today
announced the availability of serverless security extended to frameworks
like AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions and Azure Functions. With
Twistlock's newest offering, teams have a centralized management tool to
detect and prevent vulnerabilities across their container and
serverless environments.
Twistlock is the first container
security vendor to offer a complete cloud-native security platform not
limited to containers, and serverless security is a natural extension of
the company's existing capabilities. Serverless computing is growing
significantly, with double-digit percentage adoption of tools such as AWS Lambda that allow for a true platform-as-a-service environment.
"As we work
with enterprises around the world that are deploying cloud-native apps,
we're seeing increased usage of serverless functions in mission-critical
environments," said John Morello,
chief technology officer at Twistlock. "Our mission is to give
customers cloud-native cyber security from top to bottom. With this
feature, customers have a single security tool that provides visibility,
detection and prevention across the entire topology of their
cloud-native apps."
For
enterprises deploying cloud-native apps, serverless functions versus
containers are not an either-or proposition. Many organizations using
serverless are using it for specific scenarios, and using containers in
other scenarios. One of Twistlock's customers is using Lambda to do
event-driven processing jobs, which supports a broader actuarial
forecasting app running in Docker.
Twistlock's Serverless Security
capabilities are available now as part of Twistlock's Vulnerability
Explorer to existing customers in private beta, and scheduled for
general availability in Fall 2017. For a live demo, stop by Twistlock's
booth at Black Hat USA, or get in touch at Twistlock.com/serverless.
