Aqua Security

What Aqua Security is

Aqua Security provides security software for development workflows, cloud workloads, and Kubernetes environments. Its Dev Security plan covers repository discovery and scanning, container image risk and vulnerability scanning, Dynamic Threat Analysis, Infrastructure-as-Code scanning, and SBOM generation and analysis. Pricing for this plan is based on the number of code repositories.

Cloud Security focuses on cloud and Kubernetes workloads. Its capabilities include workload visibility, agentless scanning, real-time runtime protection, drift prevention, and compliance reporting; pricing is based on workload counts, including examples such as EC2 instances, Fargate containers, and Lambda functions. The Platform plan includes visibility across the software development lifecycle, risk prioritization and contextual risk scoring, compliance and custom reporting, and role-based access control.

Aqua lists runtime protection, Kubernetes security, image and registry scanning, admission control, and SBOM generation among its capabilities. It supports a hybrid deployment model and lists Linux and web platforms. Aqua Security was founded in 2015 and has headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts, United States, and Ramat Gan, Israel.
