Container Security eBook

Containerization has become the backbone of modern cloud-native application development. Technologies like Docker and Kubernetes enable organizations to build, deploy, and scale applications faster than ever before. However, this agility also introduces new security challenges. The Container Security Fundamentals eBook is designed to help IT professionals, DevOps engineers, and cloud architects understand the core security concepts required to protect containerized and cloud-native workloads.

What This eBook Covers

This eBook provides a clear and practical introduction to the fundamental technologies and concepts behind container security, including:

1. Container Security Architecture

Learn how container platforms are designed and where security controls should be applied. The book explains key components such as container runtimes, orchestration platforms, and registries, and how they interact from a security perspective.

2. Image Security and Supply Chain Protection

Container image security is a critical starting point. The eBook covers:

• Trusted base images
• Image scanning for vulnerabilities
• Software supply chain risks
• Image signing and verification

3. Kubernetes and Orchestration Security

Since Kubernetes is the de facto standard for container orchestration, the eBook introduces essential Kubernetes security concepts, including:

• Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
• Network policies
• Pod security standards
• Secure configuration and hardening practices

4. Runtime Security and Threat Detection

Security does not stop after deployment. This section explains how runtime security works, how to detect abnormal container behavior, and how modern tools monitor system calls, processes, and network activity in real time.

5. Networking and Isolation

Understand how container networking works and how isolation mechanisms such as namespaces, cgroups, and network segmentation help reduce the attack surface in multi-tenant environments.

6. DevSecOps and Automation

The eBook emphasizes integrating security into CI/CD pipelines. It explains how automation, policy-as-code, and continuous security testing help teams build secure cloud-native applications without slowing down development.

Who Should Read This eBook

The Container Security Fundamentals eBook is ideal for:

• DevOps and Platform Engineers
• Cloud and Kubernetes Administrators
• Security Engineers and SOC teams
• Students and professionals learning cloud-native security

Whether you are new to containers or looking to strengthen your existing security knowledge, this eBook provides a solid foundation.
