The operation of cloud-native applications in containers or with serverless technologies brings with it special and new requirements in terms of security. Although the major cloud providers such as AWS or Azure integrate a lot of security into their platforms, this is usually only done with internal services. This workshop shows how the protection of workloads in containers can be implemented with Aqua Security.
For many companies, the operation of cloud-native applications is now standard. Cloud-native” describes an approach to software development in which applications are designed from the outset for use in the cloud. Such applications often consist of microservices, which in turn are provided on the basis of containers or serverless technologies. In addition to the in-house development of applications, standard software based on such technologies is now increasingly being delivered.

Such applications require a new approach to security. Although the major hyperscalers now offer a range of security functions, these differ depending on the provider and are also limited to their own platform. IT managers who want strong all-round protection that covers several cloud providers and local systems at the same time are therefore reliant on third-party software.
