BOSTON—July 11, 2024 — Aqua Security, the pioneer in cloud native security, today announced that 10 of North America’s largest and most influential banks have chosen its cloud native application protection platform (CNAPP), the Aqua Platform, to prevent attacks in the software supply chain and stop attacks as they happen in real time in production. With Aqua, customers can reduce risk and accelerate application delivery while meeting stringent compliance requirements. In total, 35 banks across North America partner with Aqua Security.
To better serve customers across mobile, web and other modern platforms, financial institutions are moving to the cloud and leveraging more scalable technology, such as Kubernetes and containers, to build, deploy and manage their applications and infrastructure.
At the same time, the cloud introduces new complexities, and attackers are targeting cloud native assets. In fact, Aqua Nautilus threat researchers have seen a 1,400% increase in fileless or memory-based attacks, which exploit existing software, applications, and protocols to perform malicious activities. To combat these increasingly difficult challenges, the United States’ and Canada’s largest, most influential banks all rely on the Aqua Platform to ensure both security and compliance.
“Aqua is the standard in cloud native security and compliance for financial organizations,” said Sharon Eilon, Chief Customer Officer of Aqua. “Only Aqua provides end-to-end security capabilities to reduce complexity, promote business agility, accelerate digital transformation and ensure financial institutions can effectively meet rigorous regulatory and compliance standards.”
Traditional security tools lack the ability to provide context in cloud native environments, which are characterized by elastic infrastructure and often ephemeral orchestrated workloads. When applications are distributed across transient workloads, there is no traditional network segmentation for securing access to critical information, such as payment card data.
Aqua delivers on all aspects of cloud native security and compliance for financial services, including vulnerability management, threat analysis and mitigation, container security, real-time visibility and audit capabilities.
In addition to the top North American banks, Aqua serves more than 40% of the Fortune 100.
