Runtime Security For Containers

Challenge

As organizations increasingly adopt containerized architectures, ensuring runtime security becomes essential. Rearc partnered with a Fortune 250 customer to enhance its container security by integrating Palo Alto's Prisma Suite with AWS EKS and ECS. Key challenges included maintaining real-time visibility in dynamic environments, effective threat detection tailored to container workloads, and complying with PCI, HIPAA, and SOC 2 standards.

Solution

• Scanning: leveraged Prisma Suite to scan container images for vulnerabilities, malware, and configuration issues before deployment, ensuring secure production environments.
• Behavioral Analytics: implemented runtime protection for Amazon EKS and ECS workloads using Prisma's machine learning and behavioral analytics to detect and prevent potential security threats.
• Monitoring and Reporting: automatically assessed container environments against regulatory standards, generated reports, and managed global and app-level exceptions.

Outcome

• Provided real-time visibility into container activities and helped identify and remediate security threats proactively.
• By automating compliance checks and generating audit-ready reports, Prisma simplified compliance management for the customer, enabling them to meet regulatory requirements with greater efficiency and accuracy.
• Unified security platform streamlined security operations and reduced the overhead associated with managing disparate security tools, leading to cost savings for the customer.
