StackRox Extends Its Container Security Platform

StackRox extended the capabilities of its Container Security Platform with additional visibility, profiling, and network management features. StackRox – which scored $25 million in additional funding last spring — provides security for containerized cloud-native applications. This most recent release of the platform aims to help DevOps and security teams communicate more efficiency and accurately and “quickly visualize all of their deployments and pods across namespaces and clusters,” the company said. To do this, it is leveraging its deep integration with Kubernetes to deliver visibility based on insights from deployed code on its platform. Previously, the platform gave only an image-based view of containerized environments. The platform was also updated to include deeper and more sophisticated inspections. The company, which calls this multi-factor risk profiling, has provisioned the platform to assess “cluster details, labels and annotations, privileges, secrets, and network reachability to more accurately prioritize risks.”
