Namely uses AWS services, including Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), to simplify operations and scale capacity with demand. StackRox integrates with Amazon EKS to provide key security and compliance capabilities that help Namely seamlessly integrate security into its DevOps processes and tools. Namely also relies on the StackRox Kubernetes Security Platform to ensure its development, security, and operations teams are aligned and working off a common set of policies and enforcement capabilities for security and compliance.
“StackRox enables us to easily scan thousands of deployments to detect non-compliant workloads, surface risky configurations, and provide us with timely prioritized alerts so we can take quick action,” said Dan Certner, senior vice president and head of Engineering at Namely. “We chose StackRox for its Kubernetes-native architecture, which enables us to not only meet our security and compliance requirements but also run security at the speed of DevOps.”
