Case Study: ThoughtWorks strengthens cloud security and vulnerability management with Aqua Security

Aqua’s SaaS Solution to Manage Container Vulnerabilities and Secure Cloud Accounts with Thoughtworks

ThoughtWorks, a global technology consultancy with over 10,000 employees, faced a significant challenge securing its multi-cloud environment. With dozens of teams deploying containerized software at a rapid pace across hundreds of independent AWS and Google Cloud accounts, their lean cybersecurity team struggled to maintain oversight and manage vulnerabilities. They needed a centralized, automated solution to enforce security configurations and scan for vulnerabilities without impeding development speed, leading them to partner with Aqua Security.

Aqua Security provided its Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) and Vulnerability Scanning solutions as a SaaS offering. This centralized security risk visibility across all cloud accounts, automated the scanning of containers and serverless functions in CI/CD pipelines, and provided critical alerts for misconfigurations. The solution delivered a "ruthless sustainability" for ThoughtWorks' security posture, drastically reducing manual effort, providing peace of mind, and allowing the cybersecurity team to focus on higher-value strategic initiatives rather than daily operational tasks.
