Securing Serverless: Persistent Security for Ephemeral Environments

Cloud native workloads terminology is used a lot these days to describe new technologies and deployment models of applications in the cloud universe. Serverless is a notable example of such cloud native-workloads: it prioritizes simplicity and agility over compatibility, control, and performance SLAs. It’s a revolutionary concept that abstracts away infrastructure concerns and provides a …

Kube-hunter – an open source tool for Kubernetes penetration testing

Aqua released a free tool called kube-hunter to help with Kubernetes Security. You give it the IP or DNS name of your Kubernetes cluster, and kube-hunter probes for security issues – it’s like automated penetration testing.

Out-of the-Box Policies Simplify Container Compliance

One of the challenges organizations have in using cloud native technologies is in figuring out how compliance requirements translate into actionable control points. Most regulations predate containers and serverless technologies and don’t have specific articles governing the use of such technologies. We recently released Aqua 3.2, where we rolled out key compliance controls pre-configured as …

Preventing Container Breakouts with Dynamic System Call Profiling

Recently, IBM researchers weighed in on container isolation, having developed an algorithm for measuring how well it works, and reached the conclusion that “a Docker container with a well crafted seccomp profile (which blocks unexpected system calls) provides roughly equivalent security to a hypervisor.“

AWS Fargate Security with Sidecars

A few months ago we launched the Aqua MicroEnforcer, the first solution for providing runtime protection to a container running in Containers-as-a-Service platforms like AWS Fargate or Azure Container Instances. The mechanism I wrote about at the time involved building a protected version of a container image being deployed, by adding the MicroEnforcer executable into …

AWS Fargate Security, and The Importance of Immutability

Back in March we announced Aqua MicroEnforcer, a new deployment technology that enabled us to secure runtime workload running on AWS Fargate and Azure Container Instances. Since then we’ve seen a lot of interest from customers who see these services not only as a way to deploy containers on demand for spillover capacity, or for …

Aqua MicroScanner: Free Image Vulnerability Scanning Plugin for Jenkins

Securing Kubernetes Deployments on Amazon EKS with Aqua

AWS made its Elastic Container Services for Kubernetes (EKS) generally available today. We at Aqua had access to the preview version for some time, which allowed us to ensure that our container security platform works with EKS to provide its full spectrum of runtime protection capabilities.

Aqua Integrates with Google’s Cloud Security Command Center

Good news for those of you running container workloads on GCP – we now provide a nice integration with Google’s Cloud Security Command Center. The Cloud SCC provides a centralized, single-pane-of-glass view of all security data for GCP applications, and providing actionable insights. It includes things like access control monitoring, asset inventory, vulnerability assessment data, …

Popular Docker Networking and Kubernetes Networking Tools

In a previous post, we explored six tools for storing data for Docker containers. Another challenge in container environments is getting containers to network in a consistent and secure manner – especially as container workloads may appear on different hosts as applications scale out, then disappear when they’re not needed. On a single host, Docker …
