Container security best practices

Containers provide a lot of advantages, but they also have some security issues that might be tough to solve. Because of the enormous number of containers based on many different underlying images, each of which could potentially have vulnerabilities, containers create a wider attack surface than traditional workloads.

Another important consideration is the kernel architecture shared by containers. Securing the host is insufficient to ensure security. You must also keep secure configurations to limit container permissions and ensure effective container isolation. For example, a container with an exploitable vulnerability, exposed metadata, and incorrect credentials configuration could jeopardize your entire infrastructure.

We’ll go through some of the most important factors to consider when running containers.
