The container security landscape is changing fast as new tools emerge and new challenges arise. Here’s a summary of the current state of container security.
To understand container security, it’s necessary first to appreciate that there are multiple layers of the container software stack. Each stack poses its own security challenges and potential solutions.
Currently, this what security looks like at each major level of the container software stack:
If one thing’s clear, it’s that we’re still waiting on good security solutions for containers for most layers of the container stack. Those will hopefully emerge as container adoption continues.
For now, container security remains a do-it-yourself endeavor at some layers of the stack. But with Clair and Docker Security Scanning having emerged in the not-too-distant past, the optimists out there can believe that additional security tools tailored to container stacks are on their way, too.
