NeuVector Announces Container Security Integration With Bottlerocket, Open Source Operating System Built by AWS

Providing end-to-end threat vulnerability detection and management, NeuVector – a Select Technology Partner in the AWS Partner Network – delivers enhanced security to AWS customers who use the container-optimized Bottlerocket OS

NeuVector, a leader in Full Lifecycle Container Security, announced security platform support for organizations leveraging Bottlerocket, the new Linux-based open source operating system that is purpose-built by Amazon Web Services (AWS) to run containers. NeuVector, one of the only container firewalls able to block zero-days and other security threats in runtime, is a Select Technology Partner in the AWS Partner Network (APN).

Bottlerocket is fully optimized for container deployments; the operating system uses only software components required to run containers. This streamlined, single-purpose design improves resource usage while reducing management requirements. Developers and DevOps teams can automate updates to their container infrastructure on AWS, improving the availability of containerized deployments and cutting operational expenses. As a result, Bottlerocket provides a best-in-class experience, running containerized applications with higher availability and lower costs.
