Containers have become very popular with DevOps as a way to increase speed and agility. However, with recent reports of hackers utilizing vulnerabilities in Docker container images to compromise hosts and launch malicious containers – how can we identify this at the time of development to prevent security costing us later?
Organizations are increasingly incorporating containers and Kubernetes into their IT infrastructure. As reported by ZDNet, Flexera’s “2020 State of the Cloud Report” found that about two-thirds (65%) of organizations were using Docker and that another 14% intended to begin using it at some point. Slightly fewer organizations (58%) were using Kubernetes at the time of the survey, by comparison, with 22% of participants saying they planned to adopt it.
Discover how Kube-apparmor-manager can help you manage AppArmor profiles on Kubernetes to reduce the attack surface of your cluster. AppArmor is a Linux kernel security module that supplements the standard Linux user and group-based permissions to confine programs to a limited set of resources. AppArmor can be configured for any application to reduce its potential attack surface and provide greater in-depth defense.
