Aqua News Aqua Security Announces First Consumption-Based Container Security Solution Available on AWS Marketplace for Containers

Expanded offerings on AWS Marketplace address customer demand for workload protection on Amazon Elastic Container Service and Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes clusters

LAS VEGAS – 27 Nov. 2018 – AWS re:Invent 2018 – Aqua Security today announced the availability of its cloud-native and container security platform on the new AWS Marketplace for Containers, in addition to several other Aqua offerings on AWS Marketplace, making enterprise-grade security for cloud-native applications accessible and easy to consume for Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers, and highlighting Aqua’s commitment to supporting customer demand for hybrid cloud solutions.

AWS Marketplace for Containers allows AWS customers to use the Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) console and AWS Marketplace for Containers to discover, produce, and deploy container solutions – including the Aqua Container Security Platform. With today’s release, AWS Marketplace has extended its existing benefits and features to container products, with a rich discovery and search experience offering access to a curated catalog of trusted software from reputable vendors. AWS customers can find and deploy the Aqua Container Security Platform and begin securing their cloud native applications in just minutes.

“We are happy to welcome Aqua Security to the new AWS Marketplace for Containers, which will help over 200,000 AWS customers find, buy, and deploy solutions specific to their container environment,” said Garth Fort, Director, AWS Marketplace, Amazon Web Services, Inc. “Customers can now instantly procure Aqua Security’s pay-as-you-go solution for Amazon ECS and further protect their container workloads.”

The full-featured Aqua platform, which is now available on AWS Marketplace for Containers, provides security across the application lifecycle, from development to production. It integrates into the CI/CD pipeline, and crucially protects applications in runtime, detecting and preventing anomalous activities and attacks. The Aqua platform secures the cloud native applications of more than fifty of the Fortune 500 companies, including top 10 global leaders in the banking, insurance, software, media, energy, aerospace, and hospitality sectors.

Aqua now has several options available for customers to access its offerings on AWS Marketplace. The Aqua solutions can automatically be deployed within a customer’s VPC with support for AWS PrivateLink as appropriate:

• Aqua Container Security Platform for Amazon Elastic Container Service (PAYG): A pay-as-you-go (PAYG), consumption-based option that is automatically deployed on the customer’s Amazon ECS cluster and paid via the customer’s AWS account.
• Aqua Container Security Platform for Amazon Elastic Container Service (BYOL): An annual subscription option that is deployed on the customer’s Amazon ECS cluster, for customers that acquire a license directly from Aqua (bring-your-own-license).
• Aqua Container Security Platform for Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (BYOL): An annual subscription option that is deployed on the customer’s Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (Amazon EKS) cluster, for customers that acquire a license directly from Aqua (bring-your-own-license).
• Aqua Container Security Image Scanner (PAYG): Announced in 2017, it allows AWS customers to use Aqua’s image scanner to scan images stored in Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR) or in any other registry, and pay per each scan via their AWS account.
• Aqua Container Security Platform – Amazon Machine Image (BYOL): An annual subscription option that allows AWS customers to install the Aqua platform as an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance, and deploy it themselves to further secure workloads on AWS, on-premises, or both, and provide additional protection for cloud-native workloads including serverless workloads on AWS Fargate and AWS Lambda.

“We are thrilled to be an AWS Partner Network (APN) Partner at the launch of AWS Marketplace for Containers, providing easy access and consumption-based pricing for the growing number of organizations adopting containers,” said Upesh Patel, vice president of business development, Aqua. “Automatically applying Aqua’s advanced, full-lifecycle security controls will allow for even faster adoption, addressing customers’ risk and compliance concerns,” he said.
