Integrating Container Security into DevOps Workflows: A Holistic Approach to Continuous Vulnerability Detection and Remediation

Abstract

The shift to using containers changed the way software developers work because these portable bundles simplify application development management and deployment. Modern containers enhance operation performance and reduce development time while maintaining uniform application behavior between testing and live systems. Industrial adoption of containers has led to strong security threats that the industry now faces. Security issues happen because of problems with the infrastructure running platforms and the way we set up containers plus the faulty container images we use. Security techniques that work with permanent systems do not apply well in the fast-changing world of container environments. When security measures become part of the development process DevSecOps finds and fixes threats before they become problems. Using DevSecOps principles this article studies container security by analyzing current defense strategies essential best practices and security defects. CVM enhances security monitoring by helping teams detect handle and correct container threats from the moment they start until their deployment ends. We seek to provide structures for organizations to enhance their container security while keeping development workflows fast and efficient.
