Twistlock Announces Twistlock 1.7 With New Runtime Defense ArchitectureSAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Twistlock, the leading provider of cloud container security solutions, today unveiled a new runtime defense architecture for its Twistlock 1.7 container security platform that enables both predictive and threat-based active protection for running containers. Introducing an intent-based security model, Twistlock 1.7 allows organizations to conduct intent analysis for container applications, spot anomalies, and enforce runtime policy -- all in an automated fashion across hundreds of images with no user interaction. "In general, it is difficult to look at applications and deduce their intent, but containers help the effort being single-purpose and immutable," said John Morello, chief technology officer, Twistlock. "Add to this the power of Twistlock's real-time threat detection and incident response capabilities: the new Twistlock 1.7 feature set uniquely enables organizations to do application intent analysis, monitoring, and anomaly detection automatically. From image analysis to role-based access control, Twistlock offers everything you need to secure your containerized applications." Twistlock's runtime defense architecture automatically processes applications and models their intent -- all without user interaction. Then, in runtime the engine uses this intent as a baseline to monitor the execution of the application. Using Twistlock 1.7, organizations can automatically determine if an application's behavior has deviated from its model, for example, when a container runs a process not included in the origin image or creates an unexpected network socket. It can also automatically detect compromises with new threat-based protection capabilities that enable scurity teams to detect when malware is added to a container or when a container connects to a botnet. Twistlock users get ahead of the threat curve by spotting indicators of compromise and proactively isolating threats and attacks. Key features and benefits of Twistlock 1.7 include:
