Container Security Industry Overview
The container security market is moderately competitive and consists of a few significant players. In terms of market share, some of the players, such as Google LLC, Trend Micro Incorporated, Qualys Inc., Aqua Security Software Ltd., Twistlock Ltd., etc., currently hold a significant share in the market. However, with the ready security and compliance platform advancement across hybrid IT environments, new players are increasing their market presence, thereby expanding their business footprint across emerging economies.
In October 2022, NeuVector, a developing business specializing in full-lifecycle container security, was acquired by SUSE, a firm specializing in enterprise-level open-source solutions. The distribution of more than 695,000 additional shares and SUSE's cash balance equal USD 130 million, which goes toward the acquisition. By acquiring NeuVector, SUSE would improve its value offer for secure software and provide its clients access to a more efficient container security program.
In February 2022, the integration of Sysdig Secure with Snyk Container, which includes container security from development to operations, was announced by Sysdig, the industry player in unified container and cloud security, and Snyk, a market player in developer security. Based on preliminary internal testing, this integration enables teams to use runtime intelligence from Sysdig Secure with Snyk Container to remove up to 95% of vulnerability alarms. Through their collaboration, Sysdig and Snyk provide the first integration across developer, DevOps, and SecOps silos by bringing together the container runtime and developer security tools.
