Meet Our Customer
Aqua Security is a leading force in cloud-native security, protecting applications and infrastructure across the entire software lifecycle. As part of their expanding platform, Aqua developed a Software Supply Chain Security module focused on securing every stage of how software is built, stored, and delivered. Today, software isn’t just written it’s assembled from thousands of open-source libraries, tools, and pipelines. This creates new risks such as
- vulnerable open-source dependencie
- hidden malware in code repositorie
- exposed secrets and sensitive informatio
- tampering of release artifacts and images
Aqua’s Supply Chain Security module scans:
- Code Repositories (e.g. GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, Azure DevOpsb
- Build Pipelines (e.g. Jenkins, GitHub Actionsb
- Artifacts and Containers (e.g. Docker images, binaries)
Its mission: Find vulnerabilities and misconfigurations before software ships into
production.
Challenge
The Supply Chain module is a growing part of Aqua’s platform. As more enterprise
customers adopt it, the team faces challenges like:
- Maintaining stability and accuracy across many different tools and integrationsR
- Quickly resolving bugs reported from real-world environment]
- Evolving the user interface for clarity and ease of usb
- Responding to customer feedback with targeted improvements
Vision
Aqua envisions a Supply Chain Security platform that helps organizations:
- Gain deep visibility into code, pipelines, and artifact
- Detect vulnerabilities, secrets, and policy violations early in developmeno
- Maintain the integrity of software releases from source to productioÈ
- Integrate seamlessly into existing DevOps workflows
By securing the software supply chain end-to-end, Aqua empowers enterprises to
ship software with confidence while staying ahead of emerging threats like supply
chain attacks.
Implication
To achieve this vision, Aqua’s Supply Chain Security module must:
- Handle large volumes of code and artifacts efficiently
- Support multiple platforms and CI/CD tool
- Deliver accurate and fast scanning result
- Provide clear, actionable insights in a user-friendly interfacb
- Stay updated with the latest threat intelligence and vulnerability data
Solution
- Bug Resolution: Identified and fixed defects in scanning processes and UI presentationR
- RFEs: Delivered small enhancements that improve usability and clarityR
- UI Refinements: Contributed to clearer dashboards and easier navigationR
- Performance & Stability: Focused on fixes that improve the reliability of scans and data handling.
Key Challenge
As a new and rapidly evolving product, Supply Chain Security demands:
- Quick resolution of bugs to ensure trust and smooth user experience
