Most DevOps professionals who use containers to develop and deploy applications believe software containers provide security, but one company, Aqua Security, argues that containerization is not a protective technology.
In its report Understanding the cloud native runtime protection security gap, almost all developer and operations specialists 90% said they would feel comfortable classifying containers as a security boundary, and almost three-quarters believe their current suite of software security controls could stop malicious code inserted into the software supply chain. The security firm, however, says such a classification shows that professionals continue to misunderstand the steps needed to make cloud-native applications secure.
