Aviatrix CTO - CloudNative Security Fabric: Securing Kubernetes, Serverless & AI Workloads | KubeCon

Aviatrix will Showcase Cloud-Native Security Innovation at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2025

In this exclusive VMblog video interview ahead of KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia, we sit down with Anirban Sengupta, CTO at Aviatrix, to discuss the company's groundbreaking approach to cloud security and how they're addressing the evolving challenges of securing modern cloud-native environments.

What is Aviatrix?
Aviatrix is a cloud security company that has built a cloud-native security fabric providing end-to-end hybrid cloud security and secure connectivity across all clouds, colocations, data centers, and edge environments. With nearly 400 customers, Aviatrix offers a unique "born in cloud, built for cloud" solution that provides uniform security across all types of workloads.

Key Topics Covered:

Kubernetes Security Across All Clouds: Learn how Aviatrix provides firewalling and secure connectivity for Kubernetes on EKS, AKS, GKE, OKE, OpenShift, and Tanzu, as well as traditional VMs
Serverless Security: Discover how Aviatrix extends protection to serverless technologies like Lambda, Cloud Run, and Cloud Functions
Built-In vs. Bolt-On Security: Understanding the advantage of security embedded into the networking fabric rather than added on top
Declarative, Intent-Based Policies: See how Aviatrix enables Kubernetes-style declarative policies based on pods, nodes, namespaces, and services
Infrastructure as Code Integration: Learn about CRD support and seamless DevOps pipeline integration
Agentic AI Security: Explore how Aviatrix is addressing the emerging challenge of securing AI agents and MCP servers running on Kubernetes and serverless platforms

Live Demonstrations Include:

East-west and ingress/egress security based on Kubernetes resources
Observability and controls for serverless workloads
Network bandwidth management by Kubernetes resources
Multi-cloud connectivity with overlapping IP addresses
Dynamic security policies using smart groups
Zero-trust internet access controls
Kubernetes CRD-based policy updates

Why Aviatrix is Different:

Unlike traditional security solutions adapted from on-premises environments, Aviatrix was designed from the ground up for cloud environments. Their distributed cloud firewall is embedded into the networking fabric, providing "security by design" that works transparently across all clouds, all compute platforms, and all container types—from cloud to on-prem to edge.

Looking Ahead to 2025 and Beyond:

Sengupta discusses the paradigm shift brought by AI democratization and the critical need for securing and governing agentic AI workloads. With AI agents and MCP servers primarily running on Kubernetes and serverless platforms, Aviatrix's architecture positions them uniquely to address these emerging enterprise security and governance challenges.
