Aqua Security, a cloud-native security provider, announced the general availability of runtime security for customers using Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Power Systems to drive infrastructure and application modernization. With Aqua’s runtime technology, IBM Power customers can protect the lifecycle of Red Hat OpenShift containerized workloads to stop cloud-native attacks.
IBM Power customers who use Red Hat OpenShift to drive cloud-native transformation can leverage Aqua technology as their cloud security solution. Security continues to be a challenge to cloud-native adoption, a view supported by Aqua’s Nautilus research team. Aqua’s recent report indicates cloud-native attacks evolve and increase in frequency and speed – all underscoring the need for a comprehensive security solution.
Aqua builds on IBM Power’s reliability to mitigate risks across the application lifecycle in hybrid cloud environments. Aqua’s platform delivers consistent visibility for hybrid clouds with the ability to detect, prioritize and address risk, protect the supply chain and mitigate attacks without killing workloads. Aqua’s container and Kubernetes workload runtime protection allow companies to adopt Red Hat OpenShift on Power to address their risk management and compliance needs at scale.
Aqua’s runtime security solution to support Red Hat OpenShift workloads on IBM Power includes:
- Safeguarding against misuse or abuse of resources with container immutability enforcement via Drift Prevention
- Scanning of Red Hat OpenShift hosts running on Power 10 ppc64le architecture for malware and vulnerabilities
- Enforcing network segmentation for compliance mandates such as PCI-DSS, preventing crypto mining attacks and protecting against IP/DNS domains with bad reputations
- File integrity monitoring that provides a complete audit trail of any changes made
