Twistlock
CEO: Ben Bernstein
Security is the "greatest pain point" for enterprises looking to adopt container technologies, as they create a "blind spot" for many security teams, Twistlock CEO and co-founder Ben Bernstein said in an interview with CRN. That's a problem that Twistlock is looking to solve, launching from stealth in May 2015 with $2.5 million in seed funding and a solution that allows enterprises to monitor both static and run-time container application activity, establish security baselines before production, and protect cloud and on-premise containers. That San Francisco startup, whose name comes from a term for securing shipping containers in place, works with vendors such as Docker, Microsoft, Red Hat, VMware, Microsoft, Google, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Rackspace.
