CONTAINER SECURITY

Scanning Image Layers, Prometheus, and Harbor Integrations

One of the key challenges in container image scanning is understanding where a vulnerability originated in an image, and who can fix it. Image layers allow us to do that, and Aqua’s scanner now allows us to pinpoint discovered vulnerabilities to a specific layer.

Crypto-Mining Malware Outsmarting Image Scanners

In previous crypto-mining attacks, we observed hackers investing little to no effort in hiding their malicious activities. They just ran the malicious container with all of its scripts and configuration files in clear text. This made the analysis of their malicious intent fairly easy.

Docker Image Scanning in your Codefresh Pipeline with Aqua

There are many benefits to implementing CI/CD platforms, such as enabling fast and frequent release cycles of software and applications, but with great speed comes great responsibility. It is crucial to add security controls around container image creation and deployment to ensure that your applications are properly secure before they are deployed.

Performance-Optimized Runtime Protection for Serverless Functions

In order to protect serverless functions while they are running, you need to consider the very short execution times and ensure that you’re not slowing down applications or increasing cloud usage costs. In Aqua CSP 4.2, we’ve now introduced advanced runtime protection that does just that, while complementing our existing risk assessment, function scanning, and …

Mitigating Container Image Vulnerabilities with Aqua Vulnerability Shield™

Managing known vulnerabilities in container images has been one of the first issues to get the attention of organizations that adopt containers. Knowing what vulnerabilities (CVEs) lurk in your image code is important, but fixing or patching the images that contain vulnerabilities has been a challenge, since it’s not always easy, speedy, or even possible …

Simplifying Access to the Aqua Platform with Okta

Enterprise-grade solutions are expected to integrate with existing enterprise infrastructure, including providing SSO to authenticate users without requiring separate definitions of user identity and access credentials.

Shift Security Left, Then Shift Up

Many of you may be familiar with the shift left security approach in which security is built in at an early stage of the application development life cycle. It is easier and more effective to do it early, rather than discover security issues later in the game, when applications are already deployed. When issues are …
