"Achieving the AWS Security Competency reflects Aqua's dedication to helping customers achieve their security goals by combining our technology and expertise with the range of powerful security tools AWS provides."
AWS is enabling scalable, flexible and cost-effective solutions from start-ups to global enterprises. To support the seamless integration and deployment of these solutions, AWS established the AWS Competency Program to help customers identify Consulting and Technology APN Partners with deep industry experience and expertise.
According to Aqua, the company is continuously innovating to enhance its offerings to better support AWS and the cloud. Recent innovations include:
# Assessing Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) virtual machine for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations and embedded secrets with intelligent contextual scanning to better prioritise relative risk of zero-day vulnerability findings.
# Expanding options for hybrid architecture adoption through consolidated visibility and consistent enforcement for both Amazon EKS Anywhere and Red Hat OpenShift customers migrating to Red Hat OpenShift on AWS (ROSA).
# Permitting zero-trust architectures for AWS Fargate with the Aqua Pod Enforcer to enforce assurance policies at runtime.
# Expanding the general availability of cloud native security software-as-as-service (SaaS) in the EU and Singapore. Customers in each region can take advantage of the data sovereignty, platform security and flexibility provided by the localised SaaS services to help prevent cloud native attacks before they happen.
# Ensuring consistent security policies before deployment of AWS Lambda containerised functions and serverless workloads with vulnerability, misconfiguration and permissions scanning integrated into Continuous Integration (CI) tools . Using Aqua's NanoEnforcer, which is injected automatically as a Lambda Layer, it allows for seamless support of security monitoring and enforcement with no code or operational modification.
