A
qua Security, a leading platform
provider for securing container-based
and cloud native applications based in
Israel, has announced the integration of its
platform with Datadog’s cloud monitoring
and analytics platform. With this integration,
Aqua provides real-time visibility into the
security posture of cloud native applications
to Datadog users, including information
on vulnerable images, untrusted running
containers and security anomalies found by
Aqua in the runtime environment.
For DevOps teams that continuously monitor
applications for operational parameters
such as performance, bug tracking and
errors, security events are often a blind
spot that is handled elsewhere although
they may directly affect application uptime
and resiliency. The integration of Aqua’s
granular security information into Datadog’s
comprehensive monitoring makes it possible
to identify issues quickly and analyse their
impact on application availability.
“As organisations shift to more dynamic
infrastructure through cloud and container
technologies, communication between
application and security teams is more
important than ever,” said Ilan Rabinovitch,
VP Product and Community at Datadog.
“By combining Datadog’s deep insights
into containerised application performance
with Aqua Security’s enforcement of
security best practices, we are helping
organisations bridge the gap between
these traditionally siloed teams.”

heck Point Software, Israeli
multinational software provider
and a leader in cybersecurity solutions
globally, has announced a technology
integration with Amazon Web Services
(AWS) Security Hub, a unified security
service which centralises view and
management for security alerts. This
integration, together with the addition
of Dome9 to the CloudGuard portfolio,
following its recent acquisition by Check
Point, allows enterprises to access multi-
layered security and nearly continuous
compliance capabilities from the central
console of AWS Security Hub.
By leveraging AWS Security Hub, Check
Point can provide a nearly seamless
experience to customers in providing
additional protection to their AWS
environments against advanced
cyberthreats in real time and mitigating
compliance risks at any scale. AWS Security
Hub provides users with a comprehensive
view of their high-priority security alerts
and compliance status by aggregating,
organising and prioritising alerts or

findings from multiple AWS services such
as Amazon GuardDuty, Amazon Inspector,
and Amazon Macie as well as from AWS
Partner Network (APN) security solutions.
The findings are then visually summarised
on integrated dashboards with actionable
graphs and tables.
The Check Point CloudGuard solution
natively integrates with AWS Security
Hub to provide customers with better
visibility into gaps in their security and
compliance posture, and context-rich
security intelligence for enhanced threat
prevention. CloudGuard IaaS adds
contextual information such as asset tags,
security groups and availability zones to
dynamically update security policies and
provide AWS Security Hub with visibility
into threat alerts based on deep event
correlation and rule-based cloud intrusion
detection. To complete the picture,
customers leveraging the CloudGuard
Dome9 solution can analyse and respond
to events triggered by its sophisticated
nearly continuous compliance and
governance framework.
