Problem
Cloud-native applications face increasing threats from sophisticated attacks targeting vulnerabilities and misconfigurations across the entire software development lifecycle. Traditional security tools often lack the integration and visibility needed to effectively protect these dynamic environments. This leaves organizations vulnerable to supply chain attacks, runtime exploits, and compliance violations.
Solution
Aqua Security provides a comprehensive Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) that integrates security controls throughout the software development lifecycle, from code to runtime. The platform offers full lifecycle visibility, reduces risks, and stops attacks by securing code, infrastructure, and workloads across hybrid, multi-cloud, and on-premise environments. Aqua's CNAPP combines agent and agentless technologies to automate DevSecOps, modernize security, and ensure compliance. By leveraging real-world research and threat intelligence, Aqua Security enables organizations to proactively identify and remediate critical risks, prevent attacks, and maintain a strong security posture.
Target Audience
Aqua Security's primary customers are enterprises in financial services, software, media, manufacturing, and retail industries that require comprehensive security for their cloud-native applications across various cloud providers and modern technology stacks.
