Why Is Cloud Container Security Important for Businesses?

Container security is crucial for businesses due to the changing nature of IT architecture and the rise of cloud-native computing. With platforms like Kubernetes and Docker, companies can accelerate their time-to-market and ensure application portability across clouds. However, this increased use also brings security risks that must be addressed. A single container image can hold hundreds or thousands of susceptibilities, exposing your organisation to incidents like breaches, ultimately leading to lost productivity.

Understanding Cloud Container Security Challenges

Security challenges related to cloud containers must be tackled by organisations to safeguard their applications and data integrity in cloud-based settings. Here are some key areas where challenges arise:

A common problem with container development is the tendency of programmers to adopt a "set and forget" approach. This can lead to configuration issues such as:

Insecure ports
Leaked sensitive data
Excessive runtime privileges
Increased susceptibilities
Privilege escalation attacks

A typical infrastructure stack includes application code, configurations, libraries, and packages. These elements are built to run on the host operating system kernel via a container runtime. Each stage in the lifecycle can potentially introduce safety flaws into the infrastructure, thereby increasing the attack surface.

Container images can also inherit susceptibilities from open-source libraries and packages, making them prone to attacks. Developers might inadvertently create security gaps, while malicious hackers could intentionally replace them with compromised files.

Given the dynamic and transient nature of the workloads, it can be difficult for security teams to monitor and detect abnormal activities. As safety issues can rapidly spread across the applications, it is crucial to have visibility into runtime information, allowing for the identification and mitigation of vulnerabilities in environments.

While container security involves safeguarding all stages of the CI/CD pipeline, developers often apply safety measures towards the end of an application lifecycle, leaving little time for testing due to tight delivery schedules.

To provide top-tier security for web applications and APIs, organisations need tools that utilise intelligence and context to identify new threats and minimise false positives that hinder productivity. Moreover, many cloud-native applications are incompatible with traditional endpoint security agents, necessitating an agentless approach to runtime security.

Human error is a prevalent factor in numerous security incidents today. Manual processes create opportunities for typographical errors, misconfigurations, and oversights that can lead to a breach. While Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS), Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), and firewalls can help mitigate risk after these misconfigurations occur, they are insufficient. That is why it is necessary for organisations should minimise manual configuration and embrace automation. They should also implement scans that use policies to detect and help rectify misconfigurations before they can be exploited.

Microminder's Approach: Building Security Into the Container Pipeline

Containers are created from layers of files called container images. When gathering these images, we ensure that they are from trusted sources and have been scanned for vulnerabilities. Plus, we use a scanner to regularly check all files based on specific languages, packages, and layers. Also, we identify modified images that break policies or best practices to reduce potential compromises.

Our solution helps safeguard the cluster infrastructure and the applications they run. That is why to provide an effective security program; we seek to remediate security flaws before the code is deployed.

Once we have gathered your images, we handle access to keep them secure. Using a private registry, we exercise control through role-based assignments while helping you manage content by assigning relevant metadata to the container.

After the developers have built the application, we manage them according to industry standards. Our experts also implement automated checks to simplify the detection of security flaws, particularly as new vulnerabilities emerge.

Our safeguarding of the cloud container continues after testing and deployment of the code and extends to when the apps are running. We will implement threat detection, network security, and incident response to protect your digital asset.

An additional layer of security is ensured by the isolation provided by the host operating system (OS). Hence, we assist in providing an OS that offers maximum isolation. This is a big part of what it means to defend your deployment environment.
