As organizations accelerate their cloud-native journeys, AWS Fargate presents a compelling option for running containers without managing servers or clusters. However, the convenience of Fargate comes with unique security considerations. With cybersecurity threats on the rise, securing your Fargate deployments is not just an option—it's a necessity.

In this Techstrong Learning Experience, experts from Aqua Security and AWS will explore the specific security challenges associated with AWS Fargate and how to address them.

You'll learn:
• The specific security challenges associated with AWS Fargate and how to address them.
• How to implement a robust security posture at scale without sacrificing the agility and efficiency of your Fargate deployments.
• The implications of the shared security model when using Fargate and how they affect your security posture.
• How to protect your application when using Fargate and how to mitigate attacks as they occur.

AWS Fargate: Serverless Container Security Simplified

Secrets hidden in your code don't always stay hidden. Aqua Nautilus research uncovered a major blind spot: nearly 18% of secrets remain exposed—even after DevSecOps teams believe they've been removed. Cached secrets, mirrored repositories, and gaps in conventional scanning tools create phantom vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit, sometimes years after a secret was ‘deleted.’

In this eye-opening webinar, Aqua Nautilus will reveal:
• Why traditional scanning tools fail to detect nearly 1 in 5 secrets—and what’s missing in current approaches.
• How cached secrets and mirrored repositories become long-term security risks.
• Real-world examples of exposed secrets leading to full cloud environment breaches.
• Cutting-edge strategies to detect, remediate, and prevent secret exposure before attackers get there first.

Led by Aqua Nautilus researcher Yakir Kadkoda, this session will explore why secrets management is broken and what security teams must do to safeguard credentials across Kubernetes, telemetry platforms, analytics tools, and more.

The risk is real—but so is the solution. Join us to uncover what’s hiding in your code before it’s too late.
