About Aqua Security

Container + serverless + IaC security from runtime to source code. Used by 40% of Fortune 100.

§ Pitch deck breakdown

How Aqua Security would pitch themselves.

● Editorial
01

Target customer

Enterprise security and DevOps teams running production Kubernetes + containers at scale — Fortune 500, telecom, financial services.

02

Problem they solve

Traditional security tools were built for VMs and don't understand containers, serverless, or IaC. CISOs lack runtime visibility into cloud-native workloads.

03

Key differentiator

Full stack — scans source code, IaC, registries, runtime, and serverless from one platform (most competitors do one or two). Vulnerability + threat data feed comes from in-house Aqua Nautilus research team.

04

Go-to-market strategy

Top-down enterprise sales motion through CISOs. Channel partnerships with AWS, Azure, GCP marketplaces. Open-source tools (Trivy, kube-bench) drive developer mindshare into paid plans.
