Aqua vShield is a patented virtual-patching capability that protects running containers from exploitation of known vulnerabilities without requiring image changes, developer intervention, or downtime. When activated for vulnerabilities found in scan results, it automatically applies runtime controls that detect or block access to resources required for an exploit, such as vulnerable network protocols, files, packages, or capabilities. Aqua’s Nautilus research team continuously develops and refines vShields for newly discovered vulnerabilities. By acting as a compensating control, vShield helps security teams reduce exposure, stop exploit attempts in real time, prioritize patching more efficiently, and improve compliance while engineering teams address underlying vulnerabilities on their ow
