StackRox Extends Its Security Controls Across Container Operating Systems, Cloud Marketplaces, and Ecosystem Partners

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Oct. 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- StackRox, the leader in container and Kubernetes security, announced several new product features to the StackRox Kubernetes Security Platform that expand its capabilities across multiple container and Kubernetes environments. The latest StackRox updates enable controls for additional container operating systems and image registries, easier deployment via cloud marketplaces, native integrations with SIEM and incident management platforms, and support for the Istio service mesh.

"Given our multi-cloud deployments across AWS and Azure, we appreciate the ability to deploy the StackRox platform easily in any and all of our environments and integrate with our existing tools," said Tom Bartolucci, vice president of engineering for YayPay, a FinTech pioneer in accounts receivable management. "With StackRox, we can continue our fast pace of software innovation while maintaining our stringent security and compliance controls, since StackRox integrates into all the environments we support and ties into the CI/CD and DevOps processes and tooling that fuel our innovation."

The latest version of the StackRox Kubernetes Security Platform now includes the following features and enhancements:

    --  eBPF instrumentation - StackRox delivers the option to collect
        system-level data at runtime using extended Berkeley Packet Filter
        (eBPF), a native Linux in-kernel virtual machine for low-overhead data
        collection.
    --  Google Container-Optimized OS (GCOS) compatibility - With eBPF
        instrumentation, StackRox enhances runtime security controls for
        environments that use GCOS, the default operating system for Google
        Kubernetes Engine (GKE).
    --  Azure Container Registry integration - StackRox includes a native
        integration for Microsoft Azure customers to discover and scan images in
        Kubernetes environments on Azure, including Azure Kubernetes Service
        (AKS).
    --  AWS, GCP, and Red Hat OpenShift Marketplace availability - StackRox is
        available on all major cloud marketplaces, simplifying deployment and
        increasing flexibility for customers running on those providers. For GCP
        customers, StackRox is available as a Kubernetes application to enable
        deployment on GKE and Anthos.
    --  Splunk, Sumo Logic, and PagerDuty integrations - StackRox delivers
        native integrations for leading security information and event
        management (SIEM) and incident response solutions to easily send alerts
        and policy violation data directly to those platforms, streamlining
        operations and remediation.
    --  Istio coverage - StackRox provides visibility into Istio services and
        their network traffic, enabling organizations to apply policy controls
        on allowed connectivity in Kubernetes environments running Istio.

"To effectively operationalize security in cloud-native environments, organizations need security to be integrated across their existing toolchains and workflows," said Wei Lien Dang, co-founder and vice president of product at StackRox. "The new features in our latest release enable our customers to gain broader security coverage across their Kubernetes infrastructure and benefit from aligning insights from StackRox with the security tools they use every day."
