TEL AVIV, Israel, Nov. 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alcide, provider of the first Microservices Firewall for application networking security, today announced it was selected as one of the first security solutions available in the new AWS Marketplace for Containers. AWS customers running and managing containers can now take advantage of Alcide’s cloud security platform, providing real-time visibility and observability across container environments and setting automated application-aware security policies.
“Businesses are increasingly moving towards the cloud to cut costs and increase agility, with majority of companies choosing AWS as the cloud provider of choice”, said Ranny Nachmias, CEO and Co-Founder of Alcide. “We are excited to be invited and become one of the first security solutions available in the new AWS Marketplace for Containers. Providing an extra layer of network protection to AWS’ existing cloud infrastructure, we aim to continuously offer our customers a simple and seamless deployment model through the marketplace, combined with our full management, control and enforcement of any type of cloud workload.”
The Alcide cloud-native security platform provides a single view into containerized environments and offers workload-level protection as an additional layer of security.
