Red Hat this week announced that it's taking the first steps towards open-sourcing the StackRox container security product for Kubernetes. Announced only months after Red Hat bought StackRox, the new StackRox community project follows the organization's business model of providing open source enterprise solutions.
As Kubecon Europe gets under way, Red Hat has pushed out StackRox, the Kubernetes security product it acquired earlier this year, as an open-source project which will be the upstream for its Advanced Cluster Security for OpenShift. The StackRox product is itself deployed as a Kubernetes application and has several components, aiming to pick up vulnerabilities in both container images and in Kubernetes, look for misconfigurations such as unnecessarily elevated privileges, perform rule-based threat detection, and more.
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.
IBM-owned Red Hat is to snaffle container security outfit StackRox and plans to fold the company's tech into its OpenShift platform. The amount being spent on the acquisition was not shared, although Crunchbase reported that StackRox has picked up more than $65m of funding in recent years, with a $26.5m investment led by Menlo Ventures as recently as September last year.
Red Hat on Thursday snapped up container and Kubernetes security startup StackRox, a deal that speeds up its ambitions in the enterprise cloud market. StackRox has developed a Kubernetes-native container security platform designed to help both security and DevOps teams enforce security and compliance policies.
Container and Kubernetes security company StackRox on Wednesday announced the release of KubeLinter, an open source tool designed to help users identify misconfigurations in Kubernetes deployments. KubeLinter is a static analysis tool that checks YAML files, which store configuration data for Kubernetes applications, to ensure that security best practices are followed.
Container and Kubernetes security company StackRox on Thursday announced that it raised another $26.5 million in funding, which brings the total investment secured by the firm to $61 million. StackRox has developed a Kubernetes-native container security platform designed to help both security and DevOps teams enforce security and compliance policies.
