San Jose, Calif.-based NeuVector excels at monitoring containerized applications deployed at a large scale for 'bad behavior' such as internal attacks and lateral attacks, Mackey said. Specifically, Mackey said NeuVector considers what the container environment should look like, what the aberrations are that exist, and whether or not what's running there should actually be there.
NeuVector has differentiated itself from competitors by examining what it means to secure Kubernetes at scale rather than just focused on how an existing competency can fit into the container space, Mackey said. The company has invested heavily in both technology and people with the intent of making Kubernetes more secure, scalable, and operable, according to Mackey.
Legacy offerings require the installation of an agent on all container images, which Mackey said isn't scalable enough to keep up with all the data and results in a larger attack surface. NeuVector's container readability, ability to run replicas, and lack of an interactive log-in really set the company apart from the pack, according to Mackey.
