Amazon EC2 and container protection

  • Combines the best and latest technologies to protect against active attacks and threats when AWS workloads are the most vulnerable — at runtime.
  • Machine Learning and AI protects against known and zero-day malware.
  • Protection against prevalent cloud workload threats like web shells, SQL shells and credential theft.
  • Behavior-based indicators of attack (IOAs) detect sophisticated attacks such as fileless and malware-free.
  • Offers integrated threat intelligence to block known malicious activities and delivers the complete context of an attack, including attribution.
  • Exploit protection and blocking.
  • Delivers container security through a single agent running on the node that protects the instance itself as well as all containers running on it.
  • Provides 24/7 managed threat hunting to ensure that stealthy attacks don’t go undetected.
