Our take
Aqua Security is a global pure play cloud native vendor that helps enterprises secure their cloud-native applications from development to production, regardless of whether they run using, say, containers or virtual machines.
The company bridges the gap between DevOps and security, promoting business agility whilst accelerating digital transformation. Whilst there is much noise in the cloud native security market, few vendors offer true CNAPP capabilities. Already ahead of competitors in this regard, the company’s acquisition of Argon further propelled it ahead of competition as the only vendor in the market that wholly protects how cloud applications are developer, deployed and run.
Indeed, in recent years, the company has experienced a serious period of growth. It doubled its channel and ecosystems teams and launched its new Advantage Ecosystem program ad partner portal that bolsters ongoing revenue generation, accelerating its customers’ digital transformations. Substantial 2024 investment raised the company's valuation to over $1b, and paves the way for further innovations in the cloud security sector.
