What an end to the year! So much has been happening this December and the month isn’t over yet. Explore our take on the critical Log4Shell vulnerability along with mitigation advice and recommendations on how to address the risk of similar issues in the future. At Aqua, we were excited to join forces with Argon, the leader in …

Teppei Fukuda, open source software engineer at Aqua Security and creator of Trivy, discusses how open source Trivy plugs into the software build process and scans container images and infrastructure-as-code files for vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.

The acquisition has produced “the industry’s first and only solution to secure all stages of software build and release,” according to Aqua Security co-founder and CEO Dror Davidoff.

Rory McCune of Aqua Security spoke about getting started with Kubernetes security at Computing’s recent Deskflix: DevSecOps event, where he attempted to answer the question, ‘What’s the one thing I could do to try and improve my Kubernetes security?’

Aqua’s Dynamic Threat Analysis protects containerized applications from image-based malware by automatically running images in a secure sandboxed environment. This service, combined with Argon’s supply chain security capabilities, can secure the build stage in the application lifecycle, the company claims.

Becoming a “unicorn” and considering an IPO “are just steps on the way of really accomplishing the big vision,” Dror Davidoff said. “Everyone is moving to the cloud, and we want to make sure the cloud is secured.”

“Leading cloud services providers are releasing software as frequently as every 15 seconds. Humans cannot keep up with the velocity, and the threat of supply chain attacks has never been greater. The industry demands a new approach,” said Eilon Elhadad, CEO and Co-Founder of Argon.

Cofounder and CEO Dror Davidoff said in an email to VentureBeat that combining Aqua Security with Argon creates “the industry’s first and only solution to secure all stages of software build and release.”
