Securing the new AWS App Runner service

AWS App Runner is a new service designed to simplify the deployment and management of containerized applications without the need for users to handle infrastructure. It allows users to deliver their source code or container images, automatically building and deploying them while managing load balancing, encryption, and scaling. Sysdig, in collaboration with AWS, provides security enhancements for App Runner by utilizing tools like Falco to detect and alert on security anomalies, as well as scanning images for vulnerabilities. Sysdig Secure extends this functionality by offering Cloud Activity Insights, which helps identify cloud misconfigurations and provides a comprehensive overview of cloud activities, thus enabling users to promptly address security incidents and reduce risks. This integration of workload and cloud security insights aims to improve incident response and protect applications and infrastructure.
