With the growing popularity of Container technology comes the growth of container-based attacks – but understanding your security needs will keep you ahead of the game.

Container adoption is skyrocketing, growing 40% in the last year. And it makes sense – the agility, operational efficiencies and cost savings of containerized environments are huge benefits. But as more organizations rush to leverage containers, security is increasingly becoming a major concern and is the top roadblock to container deployment. What do you need to know (and do) to keep your container environments safe?

Hear from our security experts as they discuss “a day in the life” of a container attack, and share best practices for securing containers, including:

• How to quickly detect compromises within their containers and reduce their attack risk?
• What to consider as you undertake containerization efforts for the first time? How does that differ from a more mature container ecosystem?
• Why network intrusion-based container security is a critical component of the broader container security industry?

Additionally, this webinar will feature a Q&A session with one of our customers who is embarking on their own container journey. Hear about the process they went through as they embraced containers, built a container security strategy, began leveraging Network IDS for containers, and the lessons they have learned along the way.
