According to Frost & Sullivan, Aqua’s Container Security Platform Delivers “Unmatched protection covering the entire container life cycle.”
Boston, MA – April 24, 2018: Aqua Security announced today that its unparalleled vision and strong market performance caught the attention of Frost & Sullivan during its recent analysis of the container security market, earning it Frost & Sullivan’s 2018 New Product Innovation Award.
“The rapid rise and convergence of DevOps, containers, and microservices-based applications has compelled companies to rethink their application security strategy, in fact, to re-conceptualize the dynamics of a cloud-native era altogether,” said Dhiraj Badgujar, Analyst from Frost and Sullivan, as part of his analysis. “Aqua Security certainly has the capability to integrate the DevOps process to trigger various events in an automated way with specific focus towards runtime protection.”
“Ultimately, growth in any organization depends upon continually introducing new products
to the market and successfully commercializing those products. For these dual goals to
occur, a company must be best-in-class in three key areas: understanding demand,
nurturing the brand, and differentiating from the competition,” he continued.
Frost and Sullivan award comes immediately following the launch of version 3.0 of Aqua’s container security platform, which introduced Kubernetes-Native Enterprise Security Controls and new, patent-pending MicroEnforcer™ technology that protects containers from within, reducing the dependency on a host environment and enabling “Zero Infrastructure Container as a Service (CaaS) environments. These enhancements are the latest examples of Aqua’s ongoing product innovation as F2000 enterprises rapidly embrace a cloud-native, microservices-driven, container-based application development.
“Frost & Sullivan understands that in a volatile container ecosystem, active security
measures with full visibility scanning and monitoring ensures container security. The Aqua
platform rightly leverages declarative and behavioral methods with adaptive learning to
address all security concerns of container applications, thereby providing this pioneering
company a competitive edge over its closest competitors in the container security market.”
Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to a young company that has demonstrated outstanding product design and market traction. The award recognizes a high degree of innovation with products and technologies and the resulting leadership in terms of customer value and market penetration.
