As with mainframes, server blades, virtualization and cloud architectures before, containers offer a further resource and configuration abstraction that organizations can leverage to improve efficiency and benefit from lower total cost of ownership for business workloads.
However, any new technology requires new ways of ensuring manageability and, arguably more importantly, security of the new way of working.
Yet, it is common for organizations to adopt new technologies without fully assessing their ability to secure the new ecosystem. This can expose them to a high risk to revenue at worst and affecting the efficiency of delivery teams and DevOps agility at best.
As containers have evolved, the decisions you need to make regarding how you host, run, and secure them have evolved. Our container experts have developed, tested, and refined this guidance and best practices for security in your environment.
