Container Security: Fundamental Technology Concepts that Protect Containerized Applications

by Liz Rice

Description

This practical guide introduces the fundamental technologies and security principles needed to protect containerized applications throughout their lifecycle. It explains how containers work under the hood—including Linux namespaces, capabilities, system calls, images, and runtimes—and shows where vulnerabilities and attack surfaces can arise. Readers will learn how to apply defense-in-depth strategies across development, deployment, orchestration, and runtime environments, with clear examples that connect theory to real-world practice. Accessible and technically grounded, the book helps developers, operators, and security professionals build a stronger foundation for designing and running secure container platforms.
