Protecting Containerized Environments from Emerging Threats

Abstract

Containerized environments have revolutionized software development and deployment by enabling consistent, scalable, and efficient application management across diverse platforms. However, the rapid adoption of container technologies has exposed them to a growing array of sophisticated security threats. This paper delves into the emerging threats targeting containerized environments and presents a comprehensive framework for safeguarding these environments. By exploring the attack surface, common vulnerabilities, and advanced protection mechanisms, we provide actionable insights to secure container deployments, ensuring they remain robust against current and future threats.
