By bringing StackRox's powerful Kubernetes-native security capabilities to Red Hat OpenShift, Red Hat will further its vision to deliver a single, holistic platform that enables users to build, deploy and securely run nearly any application across the entirety of the hybrid cloud.

Red Hat has long been a leader in security for enterprise open source solutions, beginning with Red Hat Enterprise Linux and continually evolving to set new standards to secure cloud-native environments.

With this acquisition, Red Hat will further expand its security leadership, adding StackRox's complementary capabilities to strengthen integrated security across its open hybrid cloud portfolio with greater simplicity and consistency.

With StackRox, Red Hat will focus on transforming how cloud-native workloads are secured by expanding and refining Kubernetes' native controls, as well as shifting security left into the container build and CI/CD phase, to provide a cohesive solution for enhanced security up and down the entire IT stack and throughout the lifecycle.

The StackRox software provides visibility across all Kubernetes clusters, by directly deploying components for enforcement and deep data collection into the Kubernetes cluster infrastructure, reducing the time and effort needed to implement security, and streamlining security analysis, investigation and remediation.

"Red Hat adds StackRox's Kubernetes-native capabilities to OpenShift's layered security approach, furthering our mission to bring product-ready open innovation to every organization across the open hybrid cloud across IT footprints."
