Aqua Security
Cloud-native security with full lifecycle protection for AI applications.
About
Aqua Security provides runtime security for cloud-native workloads and generative AI applications. Its Aqua Secure AI extends protection to AI apps with prompt defense that evaluates LLM prompts for injection, jailbreak attempts, and secrets leakage.
The platform offers AI visibility and governance at runtime, tracking which models, platforms, and versions are used across environments with policies aligned to OWASP Top 10 for LLMs. Aqua Compass, an MCP server, enables customers to build AI agents that use Aqua runtime intelligence to investigate activity and generate policies. Named CyberSecurity Solution of the Year for AI in 2025.
