Container Security 101 will give you a fundamental understanding of what containers are and why they’re so important in cloud security. You will learn:

How containers redefined application development

Containers are digital packages that include everything an application needs to run. They enable development teams to break applications down into smaller, more manageable pieces, so applications can be updated and scaled instantly based on demand. This dramatically improves market responsiveness and operational efficiency.

How to defend the target rich container attack surface

The speed and scale of container creation, complex DevOps supply chains, and other security concerns make the container environment attack surface multifaceted. Get an in-depth look at each component that’s involved, including images, container registries, container orchestration, container runtimes, and the host OS.

What are the most important tools of the container security trade

Regardless of the level of DevSecOps maturity, container security tools have proliferated across organizations to create a patchwork of protection. The critical container cybersecurity toolsets include container monitoring, container scanning tools, policy engines, application visibility, container attack path analysis, agent and agentless cloud workload protection.

To meet the challenge of securing your containers with confidence, download the Container Security 101 eBook today.
