Container Security
Container security is the practice of implementing tools and policies to protect containerized applications and their infrastructure from potential threats and vulnerabilities. This protection spans the entire lifecycle of a container, from its initial development and build phases through to deployment and runtime. In modern software development, where speed and agility are paramount, containers offer a lightweight and portable way to package and deploy applications consistently across various environments. However, this flexibility also introduces new security considerations that must be addressed to safeguard sensitive data and ensure operational integrity.
