The agility of containers comes with security troubles.
Containerization is a concept that is growing rapidly, becoming the go-to solution for efficient and scalable application delivery. Containers have revolutionized the way applications are packaged, shipped, and run, with numerous benefits such as portability, efficiency, scalability, and rapid deployment.
However, this newfound agility comes with its own set of challenges — with security being a top concern. Many organizations struggle to keep up with this technology and secure their systems. Traditional security processes and procedures will no longer work with containerization.
SHI can partner with your organization to ensure your containers are secure from unwanted threats and risks. We will help you implement and follow effective security strategies by applying security tools, processes, and policies to protect container-based workloads.
Vulnerability scanning
Regularly scan container images for vulnerabilities, using tools like Clair and Trivy to identify and address security issues before deployment.
Patch management
Many security attacks that occur in the wild, especially for containers, are drive-by attacks, looking for deployments with known vulnerabilities to exploit. Patching is a best practice that should always be done, but patching differs with containers. SHI’s solutions will help your organization with the patch rollout process so you can keep your containers secure.
Access control
Implement strong controls to limit who can interact with your containers and orchestration systems. For example, utilize role-based access control (RBAC) in Kubernetes to regulate access and improve control.
Network security
Use network segmentation and security policies to isolate containers and control traffic between them. Implement firewalls and intrusion detection systems as an effective best practice.
