How leading vendors help organizations secure their applications
Aqua Security enables enterprises to secure their container and cloud-native applications from development to production, accelerating application deployment and bridging the gap between DevOps and IT security. The Aqua Container Security Platform protects applications running on-premises or in the cloud, across a broad range of platform technologies, orchestrators and cloud providers. Aqua secures the entire software development life cycle, including image scanning for known vulnerabilities during the build process, image assurance to enforce policies for production code as it is deployed, and run-time controls for visibility into application activity, allowing organizations to mitigate threats and block attacks in real-time.
Contrast Security achieves comprehensive security observability across the entire software life cycle that enables users to remediate critical vulnerabilities and protect against real threats faster and easier. Contrast OSS allows organizations to establish a comprehensive view of all open-source components and their risks and Contrast Assess uses instrumentation to embed security directly into the development pipeline. It automatically identifies and diagnoses software vulnerabilities in applications and application programming interfaces (APIs).
Bugcrowd reduces risk with coverage powered by its crowdsourced cybersecurity platform. Crowdsourced security supports today’s key attack surfaces, on all key platforms, as well as “the unknown.” As organizations move to cloud architectures and applications, the biggest concerns are web application front ends and APIs, which may be deployed on IoT devices, mobile apps, or on-prem/cloud. All of these can be evaluated for risk by crowdsourced security. Furthermore, a public crowd program can uncover risks in areas unknown to the security organization, such as shadow IT applications or exposed perimeter interfaces.
