cloud native
applications
qua Security, a pure play cloud
A
native security leader, has
announced the availability of
its Aqua platform in two new editions, as
well as several updates to the company’s
core products. Aqua Wave, an SaaS-only
offering, delivers an integrated and easyto-deploy
solution to secure applications
as they are built and the infrastructure
they are deployed on. Aqua Enterprise,
available as both a self-hosted and
SaaS offering, adds new capabilities for
securing workloads at runtime across
the technology stack utilised for today’s
modern IT environments.
“We have been investing aggressively
in innovation, resulting in truly
unique capabilities for protecting our
customers’ cloud native stacks. Having
established dedicated teams focusing
on cybersecurity research and open
source development, we’re cementing
our position as the cloud native industry
experts,” said Dror Davidoff, CEO and
Co-founder of Aqua. “In recent months
we introduced new products such as
Aqua Dynamic Threat Analysis to identify
hidden malware before they reach
production and Aqua vShield to protect
vulnerable applications from exploits
when fixes are unavailable or cannot be
applied. The new Aqua Wave and Aqua
Enterprise offerings further extend our
ability to deliver best-in-class solutions
how ever customers choose, entirely as
SaaS, on-premises or in a hybrid model.”
ACRONIS ACQUIRES DEVICELOCK

cronis, a global leader
A
in cyber protection, has
announced the acquisition
of DeviceLock, a leading provider of
endpoint device/port control and data
leak prevention software for enterprises
and government institutions around
the world. As part of the agreement,
DeviceLock will become a wholly
owned subsidiary of Acronis.
A clear leader in endpoint data loss

enjoys a global customer presence
across a wide variety of business

contractors or visitors – whether
through unintentional mistakes or
malicious intent.
DeviceLock solutions provide topclass
protection of valuable data
from this serious insider threat. The
acquisition of these new capabilities
will help advance Acronis’ mission to
deliver world-class cyber protection to
every business.
Acronis will integrate DeviceLock’s
technology into the Acronis Cyber
Platform, making new services available
through the Acronis Cyber Cloud
Solutions portal. At the same time,
Acronis will continue to work on new
versions of the DeviceLock DLP complex
while maintaining full technical support.
