Cloud-native application security platform for containerized environments
Aqua Security builds a CNAPP (Cloud Native Application Protection Platform) that spans code-to-cloud security for containerized workloads. The tech stack—Kubernetes, Docker, eBPF, and Linux kernel instrumentation—reflects a deep focus on runtime visibility and container-native enforcement rather than host-based or network perimeter tools. Active projects around advanced detection, scalable microservices, and vulnerability management, paired with pain points centered on reducing noise and protecting large-scale production systems, show the company is maturing from container-first adoption into enterprise-grade risk prioritization at scale.
Aqua Security protects containerized and cloud-native applications across development and production environments. The platform combines agent and agentless monitoring, enforces pre-deployment security policies, and detects and mitigates runtime attacks. The product serves over 500 large enterprises. Headquarters are in Boston, MA, with engineering and operations spanning Israel, the United Kingdom, India, and the United States. The company maintains a distributed hiring footprint aligned to its global customer base and R&D scope.
Aqua runs on AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, Linux, and eBPF for kernel-level visibility. Core services use Python, Go, and C. CI/CD is Jenkins and Bitbucket. Salesforce and ServiceNow handle enterprise operations. The stack reflects container-native and runtime security architecture.
Current projects include container security platform development, scalable cloud-native microservices, endpoint security, vulnerability management, advanced detection and observability, and a ServiceNow store application. Roadmap priorities center on reducing false-positive noise and securing large-scale production infrastructure.
