Organizations have traditionally taken a siloed approach to addressing Kubernetes security risks in their environment; however, the complexity of Kubernetes security creates a vast attack surface which has proven exploitable by recent breaches like Kinsing Malware, RBAC Buster and Wireserving which leveraged vulnerabilities, over permissioned identities and privilege escalation to steal data and secrets.

“Uptycs is redefining Kubernetes security by integrating a comprehensive approach that prioritizes runtime-first posture management alongside advanced behavioral detection and response,” said Ganesh Pai, CEO of Uptycs.

Uptycs goes beyond agentless Kubernetes security solutions that focus on image scanning by offering unified protection from development to runtime across the container lifecycle. This allows security teams to more effectively stop threats, assess risks and build guardrails to prevent attacks targeting Kubernetes environments. The Uptycs EKS add-ons will deliver full combined lifecycle management with game changing security to detect and prioritize the most critical risks, vulnerabilities, and threats in EKS Clusters to AWS marketplace, ensuring compatibility and seamless ease-of-use for customers.

Uptycs is releasing two add-ons for enterprise customers:

  • Uptycs Collector: The Uptycs collector provides end to end visibility and risk management for the Kubernetes control plane including the ability to surface up network exposure of containers and misconfigured RBAC. 
  • Uptycs eBPF Runtime Sensor: The Uptycs runtime sensor provides deep eBPF level visibility, vulnerability prioritization, threat detection, and dev to runtime protection of EKS Workloads for best-in-class container security.

“Uptycs is redefining Kubernetes security by integrating a comprehensive approach that prioritizes runtime-first posture management alongside advanced behavioral detection and response,” said Ganesh Pai, CEO of Uptycs. “Our platform delivers real-time security at scale, in one instance, securing 125,000+ Kubernetes pods for a top 20 global website. Our cloud and container security competencies are AWS-validated and specifically optimized for AWS environments.”

The Uptycs EKS add-ons combine insights and present attack paths to crown jewel assets, delivering a unified risk score for every container. Security teams can triage and prioritize the most critical risks based on runtime and Kubernetes context that assesses the likelihood, and potential severity of a breach for every container workload. Uptycs Kubernetes Risk Insights delivers the following benefits to customers:

  • Seamless installation and onboarding: Integrate with native AWS EKS tooling including EKSCTL and AWS CLI to integrate deployment of the Uptycs add-ons with EKS lifecycle management and EKS blueprints for governed deployments.
  • Runtime Insights: Prioritize risk by what is active and running in a current environment
  • Determine Exposure Risk and Threat Boundaries: Through Analysis from VPC and Gateway all the way down to Cilium Network Policies assigned to a pod 
  • Quick Root Cause Analysis: Determine the source of a vulnerability or threat through image provenance linking runtime behavior to code commit
  • Identity & Access Management: View Kubernetes excessive permissions inside clusters, along with risky service accounts, users, groups and more
