Facebook Container Security How the Facebook privacy debacle is connected to the movement of IAM to containers. Gartner placed container security as one of the top ten technologies in 2017, indicating that security of data may be the hurdle to container adoption. This security concern may be holding back an important leap forward in application deployment. In large-scale systems like social platforms and CIAM; containers are a very attractive way of handling mass scalability, performance, and responsiveness but without security, they fall short of the mark. Containers, for example, can persist vulnerabilities in images as they are deployed. Read on CSO ›

Security Lessons Learned from Peers on Hybrid Cloud Environments
Security Hybrid Cloud
This webinar addresses the need for container-native security controls that span any environment (multi-cloud, on-premise). Based on results of a survey conducted by ESG, it zeros in on the disparity between containerized application deployment plans, to the level of threats facing organizations, and the ensuing lack of sufficient security controls and skills to deal with these challenges. During this webinar we review: Top attacks organizations are experiencing, operational and readiness gaps mapped to actions, and a proven container security framework. Watch On-demand Now
