Operations | Monitoring | ITSM | DevOps | Cloud

In the world of cloud-native development, containers are the bedrock of agility and scale. They allow teams to package applications and their dependencies into a single, portable unit that runs consistently across any environment. But this convenience comes with a hidden risk. Every container image is built from layers, and each layer-from the base operating system to the application libraries-can harbor vulnerabilities. Forgetting to implement robust security measures for these containers is a lesson many companies learn the hard way.
