Threat Stack,
a leader in cloud security and compliance for infrastructure and
applications, today announced it has achieved Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Container Competency status. This designation reflects Threat Stack's
ability to support AWS services in a way that improves customers'
capability for running workloads on containers.
As
an Advanced Technology Partner in the AWS Partner Network (APN), Threat
Stack works closely with AWS and its customers to help secure and
reduce risk across all aspects of cloud infrastructure including
containers.
The recent Enterprise Service Group Report "Leveraging DevSecOps to Secure Cloud-Native Applications"
found that 56% of survey respondents use containers, highlighting the
rapid adoption of container technology. As more organizations begin to
leverage the benefits of containers, maintaining consistent visibility
and security across the cloud becomes a key component of a successful
cloud strategy.
The Threat Stack Cloud Security Platform provides
customers with full stack security observability from the cloud
management console, host, containers, orchestration, applications, and
serverless layers. At the container layer, Threat Stack offers flexible
deployment models with the ability to automate security by building the
Threat Stack agent into DaemonSet, configuration management tools, or
machine images. Threat Stack also provides customers with pre-built rule
sets for Kubernetes and Docker, ensuring they are following container
security best practices by default.
The
AWS Container Competency validates that AWS APN Partners provide the
core container security and compliance needs to enhance customer's
ability to run workloads on containers. Threat Stack's ability to
observe and report on container behavior, and solution integrations with
key AWS container services including Amazon Elastic Container Service
(Amazon ECS) and AWS Fargate fulfill critical container security needs
for customers.
"We
are proud members of the AWS Partner Network and work closely with both
AWS and our customers," said Brian Ahern, CEO, Threat Stack. "Achieving
AWS Container Competency status is a great milestone for Threat Stack
as we continue to help our customers maintain security as they grow
their cloud and container deployments."
AWS
is enabling scalable, flexible and cost-effective solutions from
startups to global enterprises. To support the seamless integration and
deployment of these solutions, AWS established the AWS Competency Program to help customers identify Consulting and Technology APN Partners with deep industry experience and expertise.
