TrapX Security launched TrapX DeceptionGrid 7.2 featuring a new capability to protect containerized environments such as Kubernetes.

TrapX DeceptionGrid secures container environments across on-premises and cloud infrastructures, independent of attack vectors.

"Many believe that containers improve application isolation and are easy to patch, and that isolation is established by default to limit container access to required resources only," said Steve Preston, TrapX CEO. "But experience has shown that this technology is vulnerable to malicious attacks. Container-specific security is critical to protecting applications and compute resources from cryptojacking and other threats, without getting in the way of development, integration and delivery practices."

TrapX DeceptionGrid detects cyber-attacks, like cryptojacking, and provides visibility into attempts to exploit applications' vulnerabilities and lateral movement between containers.

DeceptionGrid is powered by patented TrapX technology that delivers the power of deception without the overhead, in addition to breakthrough container security.

"The threat landscape has permanently changed," said Guy Waizel, TrapX COO. "Next-level attacks are invisible to legacy security technology, leaving systems and devices exposed and vulnerable. TrapX DeceptionGrid fills a vital gap in layered cybersecurity, providing protection for the expanded attack surface and the power of active defense."
