Container and Kubernetes adoption brings the promise of faster application development and delivery at larger scales. Protecting cloud-native applications can require significant changes in how organizations approach IT security. They need to apply controls earlier in the application development lifecycle, use existing infrastructure to apply and enforce these controls, keep up with increasingly rapid release schedules, and more.
Today, we are excited to announce the limited availability of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security Cloud Service, a fully managed software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution to protect containerized applications and Kubernetes across the full application lifecycle: build, deploy, runtime.
You can get started with Advanced Cluster Security Cloud Service by requesting a demo or accessing it from Amazon Marketplace.
As a fully hosted and managed cloud service, the Advanced Cluster Security Cloud Service brings together Kubernetes-native security capabilities with the convenience and support of a fully Red Hat-managed offering. With Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security Cloud Service, organizations can take a security-forward approach as they build, deploy and maintain cloud-native applications, regardless of the underlying Kubernetes platform.
Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security Cloud Service extends beyond Red Hat OpenShift, and includes Kubernetes services from all major cloud providers such as Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). This means Red Hat customers can get started on enhancing the security of their workloads running in on-premises environments or in the cloud within minutes, and focusing on delivering value faster without the additional overhead or complexities.
Protecting containerized applications and Kubernetes environments is most effective when it facilitates development speed by shifting security responsibility to the left, where developers build security into their applications. Because security has a reputation of slowing development speed, it is sometimes circumvented if it doesn’t align with the goals set for application development teams.
Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security Cloud Service helps to accelerate developer productivity by embedding security guardrails in the developer workflows and the software supply chain. The solution also lowers operational costs by reducing the learning curve for implementing Kubernetes security and eliminating management costs, while supporting Kubernetes-native controls for enforcement to reduce operational risk.
To get started, go to Amazon Marketplace or request a demo today!
