Taking IaC Security to the Next Level: Why TFsec Joined Aqua

Coming from a software engineering background, we built tfsec to help developers like us scan their infrastructure-as-code (IaC) templates and prevent cloud misconfigurations from being deployed. Teams at the world’s leading organizations are now leveraging tfsec to “shift left” and introduce security earlier in the development cycle. When we were presented with the chance to …

RUNTIME SECURITY

Detect and Prevent Exploits in Runtime with Vulnerability Shielding

A single vulnerability in one of the code dependencies can put an entire application at risk, yet 48% of organizations knowingly push vulnerable code into production regularly. With a heavy reliance on open source software to build applications, patching a myriad of vulnerabilities has become an extremely hard and time-consuming task. It’s not always possible, …
