Red Hat Summit 2019 — StackRox,
the leader in container and Kubernetes security, today announced that
the StackRox Kubernetes Security Platform is now available as a Red Hat
certified container, available for supported deployment across Red Hat’s
hybrid cloud technologies including Red Hat OpenShift Container
Platform. As part of the Red Hat Container Certification, StackRox’s award-winning
capabilities, powered by its container-native and Kubernetes-native
platform, will be available through the Red
Hat Container Catalog. Enterprise customers who use the
production-ready Kubernetes platform offered by Red Hat OpenShift to
deliver shorter application development cycles and better-quality
software now have easier access to enhanced security and compliance
capabilities certified by Red Hat.
“We’re pleased to add the StackRox Kubernetes Security Platform as a Red
Hat Certified Container to the Red Hat Container Catalog,” said Julio
Tapia, director, Cloud Platforms Partners Ecosystem, Red Hat.
“Containers offer greater application portability for enterprises
seeking to drive digital transformation. By certifying its solution with
Red Hat, StackRox and its customers using the certified container on Red
Hat’s hybrid cloud technologies, including Red Hat OpenShift Container
Platform, can deploy cloud-native workloads into production with greater
confidence.”
The StackRox Kubernetes Security Platform delivers critical capabilities
to protect cloud-native applications across the entire development life
cycle. As a Red Hat certified container, the StackRox platform helps
users enable:
-
Visibility: StackRox provides comprehensive visibility into
containerized environments, including all container registries and
images; orchestrator (e.g., Kubernetes) configurations, deployments
and metadata; runtime activity; network topology; and more. -
Vulnerability Management: StackRox integrates with CI/CD
pipelines and protects containers from vulnerabilities throughout
their life cycle, from the time images are built to when deployments
launch and are running. -
Compliance: StackRox enables continuous compliance checks for
controls defined in CIS Benchmarks for Docker and Kubernetes, NIST
800-190, PCI DSS, and HIPAA as well as internal policies. -
Network Segmentation: StackRox enforces firewalling and
segmentation policies by providing visibility, simulation,
recommendations, and the ability to apply updated network policies to
Kubernetes. -
Configuration Management: StackRox provides automated and
on-going checks images, container, and Kubernetes configurations,
protecting against misconfigurations across the environment such as
exposed dashboards or metadata. -
Risk Profiling: StackRox profiles overall risk across workloads
by correlating and analyzing various risk factors and pinpoints the
highest-risk deployments that need immediate remediation. -
Threat Detection and Response: StackRox leverages a combination
of rules, whitelists, and behavioral modeling to automatically detect
and prevent threats, including suspicious or malicious activity while
minimizing noise and alert fatigue.
“Red Hat OpenShift supports some of the most dynamic container and
Kubernetes-based application deployments in the industry,” said Kamal
Shah, CEO, StackRox. “With the StackRox platform available as a Red Hat
certified container through the Red Hat Container Catalog, it’s now
easier for OpenShift customers to reap the benefits of the StackRox
Kubernetes Security Platform in their organizations. Together, we can
help DevOps and Security teams work together to build, deploy and run
applications more quickly, effectively and securely.”
In addition to supporting Red Hat OpenShift, the StackRox Kubernetes
Security Platform supports all Kubernetes deployments, including
