Less Spooky Containers with Top Security Best Practices

A well-crafted container avoids using excessive privileges, shipping unused packages, leaking credentials, and will expose a minimal attack surface. By removing known risks in advance, you’ll reduce security management and operational overhead; however, not everything can be known and prevented in advance. You cannot forget about security once the container is running.

Participants will leave this webinar with clear direction on how to:

• Image build and apply Dockerfile best practices
• Block security issues from reaching production
• Avoid unnecessary privileges during execution
• Reduce the attack surface and optimize size for distribution using multistage builds
• Prevent confidential data leaks
• Detect bad practices, misconfigurations or vulnerabilities using an image scanner
• Go beyond image building to harden and protect containers at runtime
• Manage threats and vulnerabilities
