oak9’s Security as Code Platform Dashboard
oak9’s Community Edition is designed to help customers secure cloud native infrastructure easily and quickly while removing costs and feature limitations as barriers to entry for cloud native security
CHICAGO (PRWEB)

oak9, developer-first Infrastructure as Code (IaC) security leader, today announced the launch of a free Community Edition of its Security as Code software platform designed to make cloud native security more accessible and easy to use.
Community Edition is an all-access, free edition of oak9’s leading Security as Code Software Platform. No credit card is required, no software installation is necessary, and it comes with no commitments and no expiration. In less than five minutes, customers can sign up and secure their cloud native infrastructure to understand where security and compliance gaps exist, the criticality of each gap based on the application’s business context, why they were flagged, and exactly how to fix them.
“A customer of ours was recently trying to meet HITRUST compliance and had a small team with very limited security resources – an ongoing problem in the industry,” said Om Vyas, oak9’s co-founder and Chief Product Officer. “They built Terraform using publicly available modules and their Kubernetes clusters were not encrypting disks for their business-critical application. Within minutes of using oak9, they realized encryption-at-rest was required, and leveraged oak9’s automated remediation to address both encryption and related key management considerations. We were able to bring their cloud architecture up to HITRUST compliance quickly.”
From sign-up to automated remediation directly in developer workflows, oak9’s Community Edition is designed to help customers secure cloud native infrastructure easily and quickly while removing costs and feature limitations as barriers to entry for cloud native security.
Community Edition is built for developers, DevOps engineers, security engineers, architects, and software engineers who write and build Infrastructure as Code (IaC). These individuals are those who may be interested in IaC Security and don’t know where to start, want to understand why vulnerabilities are important and what’s going to happen if they’re not fixed, and know they have vulnerabilities, but could use help on how to fix them.
oak9 helps them understand not only how to secure the gap, but whether the risk is viable, what happens if they don’t fix it, and why it’s important. oak9 continues to deliver on its promise of simplifying cloud native infrastructure security and is an excellent fit for high-tech companies, healthcare, finance, and retail companies using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) or those wanting to learn more about IaC.
