Aqua
Security, the leading platform provider for securing container-based,
serverless, and cloud native applications, today announced that the
company's flagship platform, Aqua CSP, is available on VMware Cloud
Marketplace.
VMware Cloud
Marketplace enables
customers to discover and deploy validated, third-party solutions for
VMware-based platforms - across public, private and hybrid cloud
environments. Once validated, partners can easily publish
their solutions for VMware customers across platforms. Customers will
be able to access these third-party partner solutions directly from
their cloud environments, while also being able to experience the
convenience of features such as notifications, reporting,
and analytics.
As
a VMware PKS Partner, Aqua CSP was architected specifically to address
the challenges of visibility, control, and isolation in container
environments,
while remaining transparent and non-intrusive to DevOps, allowing
organisations to reap the business benefits of containers while
improving their security posture. Using Aqua CSP on VMware and Pivotal
PKS provides enterprise users with an end-to-end security
solution, including:
·
Image
scanning for known vulnerabilities, malicious code detection, and
enforcement of image integrity throughout the software development
lifecycle
·
Vulnerability shielding, using a form of virtual patching to detect and prevent attempts to exploit known vulnerabilities
·
Assessment of the security posture of Kubernetes clusters against the hundreds of tests of the CIS Benchmark for Kubernetes
·
Penetration testing of Kubernetes against dozens of attack vectors
·
Runtime
controls to monitor container activity in real time, based on custom
policies and machine-learned behavioral profiles, to alert on or block
suspicious activities and
processes
"Aqua
Security is very excited to be a part of the VMware Cloud Marketplace,"
said Upesh Patel, VP of Business Development for Aqua Security. "We
believe that this marketplace will make it easy for VMware customers to
deploy enterprise grade software in a complex computing environment."
Patel goes on to note that, "customers can build mission critical
applications on Pivotal or VMware PKS and will be
able to secure their entire application lifecycle in a scalable way,
while automating DevSecOps processes."
"We
are pleased to see Aqua Security CSP available on VMware Cloud
Marketplace," said Milin Desai, GM, Cloud Services, VMware. "Validated
technologies,
such as Aqua CSP, enable IT teams to reduce cost, increase efficiency,
and create operational consistency across cloud environments. We're
excited to work with partners such as Aqua Security to empower customers
to fully leverage their cloud investments."
