New solution automates container security
Businesses are increasingly turning to technology to speed up application development and delivery, but this has placed additional pressure on making sure they’re secure.
Cloud security specialist CloudPassage is launching a new set of automated compliance and security controls for containers designed to protect container images, running containers and the container engine/host.
Container Secure covers five key elements essential to security. These are host security, continuous image assurance, configuration assessment, visibility and compliance, and DevOps ecosystem integration.
CloudPassage Halo already offers workload protection, automating the security of virtual machines and hosts across private cloud, public cloud, and data center environments. With Container Secure, CloudPassage aims to provide the same automated security for VMs, hosts, and containers, allowing enterprises security and visibility from a single platform and agent.
"CloudPassage Halo was purpose-built for highly automated application development and deployment environments," says Amit Gupta, vice president of product at CloudPassage. "Today, Halo is employed by leading digital enterprises deploying virtual machines across clouds and servers at speed and scale. With the rapid adoption of containers, the need for a single security and compliance platform that can protect both hosts and containers has become a critical ask from our customers, and we are now able to deliver with Container Secure."
