Container Security Fundamentals

Containerized environments introduce unique security challenges that require proactive strategies to mitigate risk. This course equips learners with practical techniques to strengthen container security and support secure DevSecOps practices.In this course, explore common container image vulnerabilities and how to reduce them through secure Dockerfile practices. Next, discover how to use tools like Trivy for image scanning and integrate them into CI/CD pipelines. Finally, learn to minimize attack surfaces with lightweight base images, apply runtime security measures, and enforce deployment policies using admission controls.Upon completion, learners will be able to identify container security risks, apply secure development practices, and implement policy-driven controls to ensure compliance and reduce exposure.
