Cut Through Alert Noise and Fix Toxic Combinations First

Cut Through Alert Noise and Fix Toxic Combinations First See the Full Picture: Prioritizing Risk from Code Commit to Runtime Making Risk-Based Vulnerability Management Actionable with the New Issues Page Real-World Toxic Combinations That Put You at Risk Redefining Cloud Native Vulnerability Management Not every security alert is a threat, but the right combination can bring down your cloud native and containerized applications. Security incidents rarely happen because of a single weak point. Instead, they stem from toxic combinations. A misconfigured workload might seem harmless on its own, but add exposed credentials and an unpatched vulnerability, and attackers have a direct path to exploitation. Traditional vulnerability scanners surface thousands of issues, yet many tools treat vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, malware, and exposed credentials as isolated problems rather than recognizing how they can combine to create real attack scenarios Without understanding the full attack surface and how risks interact, security teams end up chasing alerts instead of preventing breaches. Instead of drowning in alerts, you need context, a way to connect security findings across the entire cloud native application lifecycle. Aqua provides that visibility, correlating risks from the first line of code to runtime so security teams can focus on what is actually exploitable, not just what is flagged. But risk prioritization is not just about what exists, it is about what an attacker can actually access and exploit. A vulnerability might seem critical, but is it isolated in a test environment, restricted within an internal network, or exposed in a production system accessible from the internet? For example, a banking application with an unpatched critical vulnerability might seem like an urgent issue, but if it is running in a segmented test environment, the risk is far lower than if the same vulnerability exists in a publicly accessible production system. Aqua assesses network exposure, identifying whether a CVE is just a theoretical risk or if it is publicly accessible and exploitable. By linking misconfigurations, exposed credentials, and network exposure with known vulnerabilities, Aqua surfaces toxic combinations that create real world attack paths. Aqua also connects these risks across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, ensuring teams have a comprehensive view of their attack surface, no matter where workloads are running.
