In order to gain visibility into vulnerabilities in their public cloud environments, many organizations still rely on agent or network-based scanning technology that was initially built for traditional infrastructure and endpoints.
These methods often struggle to keep up with the speed of change and scale of complex, and constantly changing cloud environments, forcing infrastructure teams to constantly play catch up and avoid significant blindspots caused by unprotected workloads.
Vulnerability management in the cloud starts with continuous discovery of the container images and host workloads that may contain them and the supporting resources that control how they are launched. The assessment step produces long lists of vulnerabilities that can lack the necessary context to help prioritize and accurately route the issue to the correct owners for remediation.
Getting Better Visibility and Control
Rapid7’s InsightCloudSec now addresses all these challenges and provides agentless vulnerability assessment capabilities for cloud-based container workloads and hosts. Building on InsightCloudSec’s industry leading cloud resource discovery technology, we’ve unleashed the latest generation agentless methods for assessing vulnerabilities on Containers using side-scanning and on Hosts using image snapshotting. Combined, this fully enables security teams to quickly identify where the vulnerabilities exist across their cloud infrastructure, what resources are responsible for managing the dynamic workloads that launch them, and the tools to manage response prioritization and remediation.
InsightCloudSec’s vulnerability management capabilities are purpose-built for cloud-native environments and leverage Rapid7’s proven vulnerability management expertise and intelligence. Our agentless approach reduces the unnecessary overhead of agent management on highly ephemeral cloud resources.
