Cloud security automation, from code to cloud.

Stop cloud-native attacks across the entire application lifecycle from code to cloud.

Aqua Security is a pioneer in the Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) market, specifically architected to provide a unified security posture from development through runtime. By 2026, its technical architecture has evolved to leverage deep AI-driven behavioral analysis to detect zero-day exploits within ephemeral container environments. The platform integrates its industry-standard open-source engine, Trivy, for comprehensive vulnerability scanning, misconfiguration checks, and Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) management. Aqua’s competitive edge lies in its 'Dynamic Threat Analysis' (DTA), which executes container images in a secure sandbox to identify hidden malware before deployment. Its runtime protection is uniquely capable of drift prevention, ensuring that running workloads cannot deviate from their original signed image. As organizations migrate toward serverless and complex Kubernetes orchestrations, Aqua provides granular visibility and control, consolidating CSPM (Cloud Security Posture Management), CWPP (Cloud Workload Protection Platform), and Supply Chain Security into a single, high-fidelity dashboard that reduces alert fatigue for SOC teams.

Explore all tools that specialize in iac scanning. This domain focus ensures Aqua Security delivers optimized results for this specific requirement.
Executes container images in a secure, isolated sandbox to monitor behavioral anomalies such as unauthorized network connections or file system changes.
A lightweight agent embedded within the container that provides visibility and control even in environments where you don't control the host.
Automatically blocks any process or file modification that was not part of the original validated container image.
A low-overhead eBPF-based agent for deep kernel-level visibility and threat detection.
Attestation and signing of artifacts to ensure code integrity from the developer's IDE to the production cluster.
Automated assessment of Kubernetes cluster configurations against CIS benchmarks and custom policies.
Snapshot-based scanning of block storage for vulnerabilities and secrets without installing software on the target workload.
Create an Aqua Cloud account and select your region.
Install the Trivy CLI for local developer scanning.
