Aqua Security is an enterprise-grade Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) founded in 2015 and headquartered in Boston, United States. It delivers runtime security with inline enforcement, container and Kubernetes security, software supply chain security, and GenAI application security — all within a single platform. Aqua supports both agent-based and agentless protection models, giving security and DevSecOps teams flexibility in deployment posture. The platform integrates across major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle Cloud, Alibaba Cloud), container orchestration layers (Kubernetes, OpenShift, VMware Tanzu, IBM Z), CI/CD pipelines, container registries, Docker, and security tooling including SIEM. Aqua is self-hostable and maintains a significant open-source presence with 38,228 GitHub stars and holds 17+ patents. Pricing is workload-based for Cloud Security (EC2 instances, Fargate containers, Lambda functions, etc.) and repository-based for Dev Security; enterprise pricing is available on request.
