Uptycs Unveils Advanced Container and Kubernetes Capabilities to Help Security Teams Stay Ahead of DevOps InnovationCustomers Can Now Audit and Enforce Security Policies, Simplify Compliance, Identify Vulnerabilities in the CI/CD Pipeline, and Detect Threats for Kubernetes Environments WALTHAM, Mass. , May 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Uptycs, provider of the first cloud-native security analytics platform enabling both cloud and endpoint security from a common solution, today announced enhanced container and Kubernetes security posture management (KSPM) capabilities for its cloud workload protection platform (CWPP) offering. These capabilities provide real-time detection for containerized workloads, proactive scanning of container images in the CI/CD pipeline, continuous compliance monitoring, and Kubernetes security policy audit and enforcement. According to Gartner, more than 90% of global organizations will be running containerized applications in production by 2026, up from less than 40% today.1 But organizations struggle to manage and protect these ephemeral assets. Attackers take advantage of misconfigurations in the control plane and insecure policies at the individual container layer to escalate permissions, perform container escape, and compromise nodes for code execution. "Organizations are rapidly scaling their Kubernetes environments and seeing tremendous gains in optimization, availability, and developer productivity, but too often Security teams are left playing catch up," says Ganesh Pai, CEO and Co-founder of Uptycs. "With telemetry from Kubernetes systems supported by our analytics platform, Security teams know immediately what resources they have and the security posture of those resources—across public and private clouds, scaling to tens of thousands of pods. Combined with our industry-leading container security capabilities, this gives Security teams confidence that they have the proper controls in place to minimize risk while enabling innovation." The Uptycs platform provides security observability for cloud-first organizatins. Adding telemetry from the Kubernetes control plane and extending scanning capabilities into the CI/CD pipeline closes critical gaps for Security teams. The new Uptycs container and Kubernetes security features enable Security teams to:
Uptycs supports fully-managed Kubernetes environments (AWS EKS, Azure AKS, Google GKE), as well as those that are self-managed, including VMware Tanzu and Google Anthos. For containers, Uptycs supports multiple container runtimes (Docker, containerd, CRI-O). The new KSPM capabilities supported by the Uptycs platform are generally available now and will be highlighted in demos at the 2022 RSA Conference (booth #435) from June 6-9.
