Aqua Security develops a cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) that secures workloads across containers, Kubernetes, serverless environments, and virtual machines on major cloud providers. Founded in 2015, the company has secured over 500 of the world's largest enterprises, including more than 40% of the Fortune 100.
The platform delivers measurable security improvements: according to Forrester Consulting, it achieves a 90% reduction in vulnerability research and detection time compared to alternative approaches. Aqua Security also maintains Trivy, an open-source security scanner used by millions of developers globally, demonstrating both commercial and community-focused security work.
The company has raised $265 million in funding and holds FedRAMP High Authorization, a certification required for selling to U.S. federal agencies. This combination of scale, funding, and compliance credentials indicates a well-established player in the cloud security market.
