Getup and Aqua sign partnership agreement to offer security solution for Kubernetes

Kubernetes Specialist is Aqua Security's new advisory channel in Brazil

Getup, the only specialist 100% focused on Kubernetes in Brazil, and Aqua Security, an Israeli company providing cloud-native application security solutions, join forces to offer protection services for Kubernetes environments.

With the advancement of digitalization and the migration of applications to the cloud, security execution must be on the strategic agenda of teams managing Kubernetes environments. Security flaws in these applications can be present, not only at their origin (build), but also in the infrastructure where they are executed and, in some cases, they are identified only when the application is already live (in runtime).

Protecting cloud-native applications, therefore, requires a new approach that goes beyond traditional checks and controls. Sandbox runtime simulation and dynamic container image vulnerability analysis are examples of key differentiators offered by Aqua.

“We chose Aqua because it is a reference in security for Kubernetes and cloud-native environments. The Aqua product is capable of providing security from development to production, even detecting vulnerabilities that occur at runtime, all with zero impact on application performance. With deep knowledge of our clients' environments and the cloud-native universe, we will act as Aqua's advisory and services channel in the security journey for Kubernetes environments” — comments Diogo Goebel, CEO of Getup.

“Getup is very familiar with cloud-native environments. Its experience in the segment gives us the confidence to entrust it with the advisory role of recommending, implementing, and administering our platform with excellence. We are experiencing a unique moment of technological transformation, where it is expected that by the end of 2022, 75% of organizations will have adopted containerized environments. As a consequence, attacks targeted at this type of infrastructure have increased significantly. Combining our end-to-end security platform with the expertise of a business partner like Getup is precisely the necessary approach for companies to carry out their digital journey safely and accelerate their growth” — concludes Carolina Bozza, Commercial Director for Latin America at Aqua.
