Aqua Security, the pioneer in cloud native security, announced it won the Frost & Sullivan Best Practices 2023 Global Software Supply Chain Security Technology Innovation Leadership Award. Frost & Sullivan reserves this recognition for companies at the forefront of innovation and growth in SSCS.
With the addition of SSCS in 2022, Aqua Security’s Cloud Native Application Platform (CNAPP) was the industry’s first solution to secure all stages of software build and release, protecting the full software development life cycle (SDLC) from code through build to runtime. The company’s holistic approach to SSCS has set Aqua ahead of competitors establishing it as the market leader.
“Aqua secures the software supply chain for enterprises around the world , seamlessly securing the entire process from code to cloud and promoting a culture where DevSecOps teams prioritize and maintain security throughout,” says Gilad Elyashar, Chief Product Officer at Aqua. “We are honored to win this prestigious award, as it highlights our dedication to pushing the boundaries and delivering cutting-edge SSCS solutions to meet our customers’ evolving challenges.”
