By now, it’s apparent to cybersecurity teams everywhere that the proverbial container genie is out of the bottle. Developers have widely embraced containers because they make building and deploying so-called cloud native applications simpler than ever. Not only do containers eliminate much of the friction typically associated with moving application code from testing through to production, but application code packaged up as containers can also run anywhere. All the dependencies associated with any application are included within the containerized application. That makes a containerized application highly portable across virtual machines or bare metal servers running in a local data center or on a public cloud.

This eBook provides an overview of the fundamentals of container security. It breaks down what all organizations need to know to ensure their containers and container environments are protected against breaches, malware and malicious actors.
