“Both of these have reinforced how critically important it is for security to "shift left" - integrated within every part of the development and deployment lifecycle and not treated as an afterthought,” Badani said. Badani said the acquisition would allow Red Hat to add security into container build and CI/CD processes. “This helps to more efficiently identify and address issues earlier in the development cycle while providing more cohesive security up and down the entire IT stack and throughout the application lifecycle.” He added the company’s software provides visibility and consistency across all Kubernetes clusters, helping reduce the time and effort needed to implement security while streamlining security analysis, investigation, and remediation.
