Container Security – Gladius & Schild

Container Security

The digital environment has undergone a seismic shift in recent years. Businesses are increasingly embracing cloud-native architectures, leveraging the agility and scalability offered by containerized applications. Containers, lightweight units that package an application with its dependencies, have become the building blocks of modern cloud deployments. However, this migration to containerized environments necessitates a shift in security strategies. Enter container security, a critical discipline safeguarding your valuable applications and data within the ever-expanding containerized environment.

What is Container Security?

Container security encompasses a general set of practices and technologies designed to protect containerized applications throughout their lifecycle – from image creation and deployment to runtime and orchestration. Unlike traditional security approaches, container security acknowledges the shared responsibility model of cloud-native environments, requiring collaboration between developers, security professionals, and DevOps teams. A strong container security strategy addresses vulnerabilities within container images, secures container runtime environments, and monitors container activity for suspicious behavior.

Benefits of Container Security

Increased Application Security

Container security solutions safeguard your applications from vulnerabilities within container images, preventing attackers from exploiting these weaknesses to gain unauthorized access or interrupt functionality.

REDUCED RISK OF SUPPLY CHAIN ATTACKS

Container images can contain vulnerabilities if built from compromised sources. Container security solutions help ensure the integrity of your container images and mitigate the risk of supply chain attacks.

IMPROVED COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATIONS

Many industries are subject to data security regulations. Container security solutions help organizations meet compliance requirements by ensuring the secure handling of sensitive data within containerized environments.

Flexible Development and Deployment

Container security can be integrated into your existing CI/CD pipeline, automating security checks and vulnerability scanning. This facilitates a more secure and efficient development and deployment process.

INCREASED VISIBILITY AND CONTROL

Container security solutions offer general visibility into your containerized environment. You can monitor container activity, identify potential threats, and take swift action to mitigate security risks.

Our Container Security Methodology

Discovery and Planning

We begin with a collaborative discovery session to understand your containerized environment, application architecture, and security requirements. This discussion ensures our container security solutions are custom to your specific needs and address your most pressing security concerns.

Security Risk Assessment

Our team conducts a general security risk assessment to identify potential vulnerabilities and security gaps within your containerized environment. This assessment prioritizes risks based on their severity, allowing you to focus your remediation efforts effectively.

Security Architecture Design

Based on the risk assessment findings, we design an adaptable container security architecture that incorporates the appropriate security controls, tools, and technologies to address identified vulnerabilities and strengthen your overall container security posture.

Implementation and Integration

Our team continuously integrates these security solutions within your existing container orchestration platform and CI/CD pipeline, ensuring minimal interruption to your development and deployment processes. We also provide ongoing training and support to enable your development and operations teams to maintain a secure container environment.

Ongoing Monitoring and Management

Container security is not a one-time event; it's an ongoing process. We provide continuous monitoring of your containerized environment, actively searching for new vulnerabilities and potential threats introduced through updates or changes in the container environment. We also offer ongoing management and support to ensure your security solutions remain effective against evolving cyber threats.
