It’s essential for organizations to assess their systems to identify all possible vulnerability points as security threats and opportunities to tamper with organizations’ information increase. Container security is a crucial part of having a comprehensive security assessment. It is the process of implementing security tools and policies to ensure that everything in your containers are running as they should, like protection of infrastructure, software supply chain, runtime, and all the other processes included.

While most containers offer some security advantages like increased application isolation, they also expand an organization’s threat landscape. The significant increase in adoption in production environments makes containers an appealing target for malicious attackers and adds to system workloads. A vulnerable or compromised container could become a point of entry into an organization’s environment.
Container security has become a primary concern as container usage becomes popular. Stakeholders acknowledge its importance and begin to invest in it through various platforms, processes, and training programs. Container security is quickly becoming a catalyst for improving IT security overall. Organizations can enhance security in total by requiring continuous security monitoring across development, testing, and production environments.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology summarizes several fundamental approaches for securing containers, including:
