According to the 2020 CNFC Survey, 92 percent of companies are using containers in production, a 300 percent increase since 2016. Thus, Kubernetes, Openshift, and other container technologies are present everywhere. But aren’t containers meant to be safe and isolated? Well, kind of.
There is a lot of information out there (and growing) on software supply chain security. This info covers the basics around source and build, but does it cover all of your full software supply chain lifecycle? Is your build env at runtime protected? Is your application post deploy protected at runtime? This article will not only discuss what these concepts are, but provide additional discussions around the following: Read on brave reader…
Google Cloud is helping businesses build and deploy apps faster than ever before, but at the same time, cloud teams must consider how to implement secure DevOps practices to avoid risk.
