As more enterprises adopted OpenShift as their Kubernetes platform of choice, they struggled with manual or inconsistent configurations and security settings, poor coordination between development and security teams, and potential risks from the gaps between isolated security steps, like image vulnerability scanning and workload assurance policy enforcement.

Aqua identified the need for a comprehensive, scalable approach to:

• managing the complexity of native Kubernetes security controls ensuring hardening of Kubernetes hosts
• centralizing enforcement of assurance policies for Kubernetes workloads and container images
• identifying and managing container and image vulnerabilities as an integral facet of the development process.
• Defining and enforcing role-based granular access controls to limit permissions for multiple teams and application developers

Aqua’s native integration with OpenShift empowers enterprises to bridge the gap between IT and security teams and allows the use of modern application development and deployment methods while increasing their overall security posture — all with no impact on agility or performance.

With OpenShift container security certification as well as Operator certification, Aqua helps organizations to minimize their security risk exposure and enforce compliance across their cloud native application lifecycle and infrastructure.
