Containerized Applications in Production - The New Norm

In the report “Protecting the Cloud Native Enterprise: Build the Foundation to Secure Your Containers in Runtime” by @Aqua, 90% of global organizations are projected to be running containerized applications in production by 2026. In 2021, this was estimated to be 40% of organizations. 

As containerized workloads are becoming the industry standard, many companies must adapt their security measures to manage the challenges the containerized landscape poses. 

The report outlines a few key takeaways for companies running containerized applications, which we at bifrost security endorse.

⚙️ Runtime Security Matters 

While traditional security measures in the software development life cycle are essential, incorporating proactive runtime protection is vital for defending against emerging threats. In dynamic cloud-native environments, security extends beyond securing the code to safeguarding its execution.

🎯 Improved Detection Techniques 

Effective cloud-native security blends signature-based detection to catch known threats with behavioral detection to identify novel, unseen threats. This dual approach is key to spotting sophisticated attacks and ensuring comprehensive protection.
