\"ContainerWhen developers think about security, they\u2019re not always happy. DevOps has always been about speed and release volume. DevSecOps might sound like a great idea to C level executives, but developers tend to be against it. How you decide to manage container security is a perfect time to improve some of your IT practices. Thus, teams must understand the importance of a container security solution when shopping.<\/p>\n

Containers about efficiently managing your virtual space while increasing speed. Increase simplicity and speed at the same time, what\u2019s better than that? Containers are also the perfect place to make the jump from DevOps to DevSecOps. A secure approach is a necessity for anyone interested in containers, as they have notable security flaws.<\/p>\n

Containers are Here to Stay<\/strong><\/h5>\n

It\u2019s easy to recognize why people love containers. There is far more flexibility for running cloud-native apps. Containers allow these services to move more easily across computing environments. This creates a more collaborative working environment, enhancing DevOps. Having a faster and easier to use environment is an obvious driver of innovation.<\/p>\n

As revolutionary as containers are, it\u2019s impossible to ignore the security flaws in containers. For example, the build environment is notoriously unsafe. Security shouldn\u2019t be added without developers in mind, though. Containers allow developers to focus on creating applications without having to worry about the supporting systems. Thus, adding security shouldn\u2019t be the priority, but making security an equal collaborative part of DevOps is the key to success.<\/p>\n

The Distributed Culture of DevSecOps<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Security doesn\u2019t have to be a hindrance. DevSecOps, like DevOps, isn\u2019t just about the tools, it\u2019s about the culture. Developers should have more understanding of security. Moving security left on the development pipeline is the first step.<\/p>\n

Understanding the specifics of what your colleagues are looking for makes the entire software release process easier. DevOps is about trust and cooperation, training can further bring teams together. It doesn\u2019t make sense to bolt on security measures after a product is released or right before it\u2019s released, having knowledge about what security teams will be looking for makes the entire process easier for everyone. Developers will recognize flaws as they\u2019re working, thus creating better code.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, security teams are coming in after the code is live and things are already out of control. Finding problems late in the development cycle, or even after the release, will create an unsafe cloud environment. Recent hacks<\/a> have been caused by unsafe DevOps practice. Releasing innovative products means little if your code isn\u2019t safe. DevSecOps isn\u2019t optional anymore, it\u2019s a necessity.<\/p>\n

Peace of Mind with a Container Security Solution<\/strong><\/h5>\n

It doesn\u2019t make sense to manually monitoring every change in code, every feature update, every environment, and every networking request. Faster releases require less monotony.<\/p>\n

Container security solution providers, like Twistlock<\/a>, cover the entire development and deployment lifecycle. The entire cycle needs to be protected, as any vulnerability can lead to problems. This is also relevant regarding what containers do best, scale. Security providers need to scale as you do. Containers workloads can grow and change, your security provider needs to do this as well.<\/p>\n

Automating security can provide peace of mind, but it shouldn\u2019t be the only focus on container security. The entire development and deployment lifecycle may be safer, but your entire IT team needs to be aware of best security practices. Containers will drive innovation in your company if you\u2019re able to use them properly, and there\u2019s no excuse not to.<\/p>\n

Managed Services<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Containers are notoriously difficult to manage internally. Sometimes they’re even difficult to implement at all without the right expertise. Managed service providers can build personalized container management tools so enterprises don’t have to worry. Each enterprise is going to need different functionality for container workloads. Perhaps you want to migrate all of your existing workloads to containers, help from a managed service provider makes the process easier.<\/p>\n

Automation Benefits<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Making automation a key aspect of container security is crucial. You don\u2019t want your containers to be reliant on manual security processes, this is inviting trouble. At this point, there isn\u2019t much you want to be reliant on manual security. Tools like Kubernetes help manage container deployment security tasks, but this isn\u2019t always enough, as Tesla learned earlier this year. <\/a><\/p>\n

Containers can be a motivator to change security practices. If you\u2019re changing your development process, why wouldn\u2019t you look at other related processes at this time? It\u2019s the perfect time to evaluate what you need to improve.<\/p>\n
