Though some security mechanisms are included by design, K8s by itself is not a security offering, and security settings aren't always enabled by default.

Aqua's new Kubernetes security solution addresses the complexity and short supply of engineering expertise required to configure Kubernetes infrastructure effectively and automatically, by introducing KSPM - Kubernetes Security Posture Management - a coherent set of policies and controls to automate secure configuration and compliance.

Aqua now offers new agentless runtime protection capabilities, that use Kubernetes itself to deploy security controls into pods, leveraging and extending the native capabilities built into Kubernetes.

With its new Kubernetes Runtime Protection module, Aqua introduces a new model for deploying security runtime controls in a Kubernetes cluster, complementing its existing container runtime security deployment options.

Auto-remediation for Azure in Aqua CSPM: Aqua CSPM now provides remediation advice and auto-remediation options for Azure cloud services, previously available for AWS. New compliance reports in Aqua CSPM: Aqua CSPM now provides out-of-the-box compliance reports for additional compliance reporting, including SOC 2 Type 2, ISO27001, NIST SP 800-53, and NIST CSF. VM security: Now allows flexible scan scheduling, scan history review, and malware scans on mounted NFS shares.
