Aqua is a cloud native security platform that provides runtime protection, vulnerability scanning, and software supply chain security for containerized, serverless, and VM workloads across multiple cloud environments. It offers deep runtime control, risk prioritization, and integrates with CI/CD pipelines to secure applications from development through production.
THE PRODUCT, BEYOND THE PITCH
Editorially reviewed · Sources checked Sep 10, 2026
A good fit for
- DevSecOps teams seeking comprehensive cloud native security from development to runtime.
- Enterprises requiring software supply chain security with code integrity and CI/CD pipeline governance.
Know the limitations
- Scanning alone cannot stop attacks as it only finds known vulnerabilities and cannot keep pace with AI-era attacks.
What you can do
- Securing containerized and serverless applications in production environments across multiple cloud platforms.
- Shifting security left by integrating vulnerability scanning and security testing into CI/CD pipelines.
Features
- Runtime detection and response with inline enforcement to deny unauthorized actions at execution point.
- Risk ranking based on live workload behavior to prioritize real exposure over theoretical vulnerabilities.
- Advanced vulnerability scanning across code, container images, open source components, and infrastructure as code (IaC).
- Software supply chain security including code scanning, SBOM generation, CI/CD pipeline security, and open source health scoring.
Integrations
- Integrates with multiple cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle, Alibaba), CI/CD tools, container registries, and security tools.
Platforms & data export
- Supports Kubernetes, Docker, OpenShift, Fargate, Lambda, VMs, and IBM Z mainframes across on-prem, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments.

A practical workflow
- Scan code and images at every release phase to identify risks early and prevent issues from reaching production.
- Generate digitally signed SBOMs and implement integrity gates to validate artifacts throughout CI/CD pipelines.
- Apply static pipeline analysis to CI pipelines to detect misconfigurations and security risks in build instructions.
