PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Twistlock, a leader in container and cloud native cyber security, today announced that its open source security project Cloud Discovery is now available on the new AWS Marketplace for Containers. Cloud Discovery, which was first released last month, gives enterprise infrastructure, operations, and security teams a bird's eye view of the cloud native services they are running while also checking them for weak settings and authentication.
Cloud Discovery is a first step to securing cloud native applications on Amazon Web Services (AWS) by bringing visibility to cloud native infrastructure and applications across Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR) instances, Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS), and applications on Amazon Elastic Container Services for Kubernetes (Amazon EKS). Written in Go, Cloud Discovery runs as a container and outputs data into standard JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) for easy integration with other DevOps tools.
"We are excited to welcome Twistlock Cloud Discovery as a new addition to the new AWS Marketplace for Containers, which will help over 200,000 AWS customers find, buy, and deploy solutions specific to their container environment," said Garth Fort, Director, AWS Marketplace, Amazon Web Services, Inc. "Twistlock has been a popular solution for customers seeking powerful protection during each step of the app lifecycle, and we're happy they have expanded their product portfolio to include Cloud Discovery."
"With the availability of Cloud Discovery on AWS Marketplace for Containers, anyone can jumpstart their security efforts easily and seamlessly with the click of a button," said John Leon, Vice President of Business Development and Strategic Alliances, Twistlock, Ltd. "By working with AWS we can bring Twistlock's full lifecycle, full-stack security to all customers through AWS Marketplace for Containers."
By supporting AWS Marketplace for Containers, Twistlock builds upon its existing protection of AWS workloads. In June 2018, Twistlock announced support for applications running on Amazon EKS. In July 2017, Twistlock became one of the first products to provide added security for AWS Lambda – giving customers the ability to protect containers and serverless functions in a unified platform. By becoming an AWS Partner Network (APN) Partner at Amazon ECR launch, Twistlock has long ensured that users of AWS container services can enforce trusted images and prevent vulnerable code from reaching production. And with native support for Amazon ECS, Twistlock can ensure that AWS customers running containers receive additional protection – regardless of deployment method.
