Although containerization provides a reliable and lightweight runtime environment that is consistent from host to host, it only adds to the complexity that stems from multi-cloud infrastructure services and the need to maintain legacy servers and virtualized data centers. This opens up a new range of security risks coming from the nature of the environment. A common example of this environment is a container running on a host with a specific network setup, and in many cases, hosted in a cloud.<\/p>\n

As a result, containers running in production environments handle requests from different sources and are the subject of never-ending scans or attacks.<\/p>\n

Conventional solutions often target the network or endpoint part of the problem, but not both. In addition, they lack the required visibility to examine all connections and processes happening inside containers or between more connected containers.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why it\u2019s critical to protect all containers against malware, vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n

Modern-day container security<\/span><\/p>\n

The process of securing containers is continuous. It should be integrated into your development process, automated to remove the number of manual touch points, and extended into the maintenance and operation of the underlying infrastructure. This includes protecting your build pipeline container images and runtime host, platform, and application layers. Implementing security as part of the continuous delivery life cycle enables your team to mitigate risk and reduce vulnerabilities across an ever-growing attack surface.<\/p>\n

When securing containers, many organizations share the following concerns:<\/b><\/p>\n
