Cloud security container
The challenge
Your organization faces a dynamic and sprawling attack surface due to the ephemeral nature of containers. Traditional security methodologies struggle to keep pace with the rapid lifecycle of containerized applications, leaving you vulnerable to exploits that can occur within minutes. The increasing volume of vulnerabilities, coupled with the complexity of modern cloud-native environments, makes manual management impossible, necessitating automated and intelligent security solutions to protect your critical workloads.
Learn moreThe solution
Cloud security container addresses your unique challenges through modern solutions and key capabilities.
Runtime protection
Detect and block malicious activity in live container environments, such as container escapes and crypto-mining.
Shift-left security
Integrate into CI/CD pipelines to scan images before they are pushed to production, preventing vulnerabilities from reaching runtime.
Ebpf-powered monitoring
Observe system calls and network traffic at the kernel level, providing high-fidelity runtime visibility without performance tradeoffs.
Reachability analysis
Map vulnerabilities to workloads running in production to prioritize remediation efforts effectively.
Dynamic zero trust policies
Automatically learn baseline communication patterns between microservices and generate least-privilege network policies that adapt as the application evolves.
Kubernetes posture management (KSPM)
Continuously monitor the orchestration layer to ensure compliance with CIS benchmarks and internal security policies.

How to evaluate cloud security container
Deployment and architectural fit
Ensure the solution supports your organization's specific infrastructure mix, whether it is single-cloud, multi-cloud, or on-premises.
Integration and ecosystem synergy
Verify that the security platform integrates seamlessly with existing enterprise systems to avoid creating operational silos.
Total cost of ownership (TCO) beyond licensing
Account for professional services, cloud overhead, and storage costs beyond the initial licensing fees.
Vendor stability and product roadmap
Evaluate the vendor's innovation strategy, particularly regarding AI security and agentless scanning, to ensure long-term viability.
Questions to ask suppliers
Use these questions during supplier evaluations to ensure you're choosing the right partner for your needs.
Cloud security container RFP guide- How does your platform distinguish between a theoretical vulnerability and a reachable one in a live production environment?
- What is the performance overhead of your runtime monitoring, and how do you achieve it?
- Can you demonstrate how your solution handles 'Shadow AI''-specifically, identifying unauthorized AI models or LLM packages running in our clusters?
- Describe your implementation timeline for an enterprise with 500 nodes. What specific 'Golden Path' patterns do you provide to prevent developer friction?
