What it is
Aqua Security provides hybrid security software for development workflows, cloud workloads, containers, and Kubernetes environments. Dev Security includes code-repository discovery and scanning, container-image vulnerability and risk scanning, Dynamic Threat Analysis, Infrastructure-as-Code scanning, and SBOM generation and analysis. Its pricing is based on the number of code repositories. Cloud Security covers cloud and Kubernetes workload visibility, agentless workload scanning, real-time runtime protection, drift prevention, and compliance reporting; pricing depends on workload counts such as EC2 instances, Fargate containers, and Lambda functions. The Platform plan adds end-to-end SDLC visibility, risk prioritization, contextualized risk scoring, compliance and custom reporting, and role-based access control. Listed capabilities include runtime protection, Kubernetes security, image and registry scanning, admission control, and SBOM generation. Aqua Security was founded in 2015 and lists headquarters in Boston and Ramat Gan. Pricing is available on request and there is no free plan.
