What is Container Security Software?
Container security software is software designed to protect containerized applications and environments from security vulnerabilities, threats, and attacks. Containers, which are used to deploy and run applications in isolated environments, present unique security challenges due to their dynamic and ephemeral nature. Container security software helps secure containerized environments by providing capabilities such as vulnerability scanning, runtime protection, access control, and image security. These tools monitor container configurations and activity to detect anomalies, ensure compliance with security policies, and mitigate risks like container escapes or unauthorized access. By enhancing the security of containers and container orchestration platforms (like Kubernetes), these solutions enable organizations to securely deploy and manage applications in cloud-native and microservices environments. Compare and read user reviews of the best Container Security software currently available using the table below. This list is updated regularly.
