Comprehensive Security for the Ever-changing Container Stack
Containers are the most sought after development tool for microservices. Their simplicity and portability allow DevOps to create true agile builds within development cycles. However, this new kind of environment brings a new set of security threats at every phase of this cycle—from unvalidated software entering the environment to running containers drifting and breaking immutable behaviors. This talk outlines how to build security into every phase. Learn about detecting anomalies and preventing security breaches in an extremely agile runtime environment, enabling you to efficiently manage security at the speed and scale of DevOps.
Containers are the most sought after development tool for microservices. Their simplicity and portability allow DevOps to create true agile builds within development cycles. However, this new kind of environment brings a new set of security threats at every phase of this cycle - from unvalidated software entering the environment, to secrets being leaked, to runtime drifting and breaking immutable behaviors. This session outlines common security risks and practical use cases across every phase in order to help security teams better understand how to efficiently manage security at the speed and scale of DevOps.
