Aqua Security's 'Container Security in The Enterprise' Survey Finds Perception and Governance Gaps Amongst DevOps and Security TeamsTEL AVIV, Israel and COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Oct. 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Aqua Security, the market-leading container security platform provider today announced the results of its first annual 'Container Security in the Enterprise' survey. With companies such as Facebook, Netflix and Google heralding the use of containers for their agility, portability, and cost benefits -- enterprises are following suit. But the introduction of new processes and changes to infrastructure require a significant shift in focus. Aqua sought to answer the question, "What does this all mean for security?" To learn the current state of container security in the enterprise, Aqua Security surveyed 512 individuals meeting the criteria of using containers in development or production today, or planning to use them in the near future. In addition to the parameters listed above, Aqua's report also examines how views on these topics vary by experience, adoption, role and company size. "Our goal was to analyze how different roles, company sizes, and levels of adoption affect approaches to security in this rapidly evolving market," said Rani Osnat, Vice President of Marketing of Aqua Security. "The survey results show that while Security teams desire sole governance of the topic, their familiarity with containers is lagging when compared with those with hand-on development and deployment experience. IT professionals across all roles understand that how they manage security will have to change, nd DevSecOps will become a reality, whether by embedding security within DevOps, by building cross-functional teams, or other methods." Key insights from Aqua's 'Container Security in The Enterprise' survey include:
The report also contains plenty of in-depth information about container orchestrators and other required eco-system technologies being used by respondents, as well as granular detail and breakdowns of the findings highlighted above. "The significant change that containers introduce to application delivery and deployment requires a more collaborative approach by security and DevOps teams. Organizations would do well to embed security early into the process, rather than apply security controls after the fact," said Doug Cahill, Senior Analyst, Cybersecurity at Enterprise Strategy Group.
