Comprehensive Security Approaches for Containerized Software

Abstract

Containerized software has revolutionized application development and deployment by providing lightweight, portable, and consistent environments. However, this shift also introduces new security challenges that require specialized approaches. This paper explores comprehensive security strategies for containerized software, addressing issues from the build process to runtime and orchestration. Key areas discussed include secure image management, network security, access control, runtime protection, and compliance. By integrating these strategies, organizations can mitigate risks associated with containerized environments, ensuring robust and secure application deployment.
