Security Tip: Harden your containers by using minimal base images. π‘οΈ
Standard images often include shells and package managers that attackers use once they gain a foothold. By switching to Alpine or Distroless images, you significantly reduce the attack surface and the number of CVEs you need to monitor.
Action: Audit your Dockerfiles and swap heavy images for minimal alternatives.

Docker security checks teams should not skip
Your Docker container is NOT isolated the way you think. A new container escape technique allows attackers to move from a compromised app directly into the host machine. One vulnerable container. One exposed socket. One bad privilege setting. And your entire infrastructure is gone. Researchers showed attackers abusing

Security Tip: Secure your containerized apps by following the principle of least privilege. π‘οΈ
1. Never run containers as root; use a non-privileged user instead.
2. Use minimal base images to reduce the attack surface.
3. Scan images for CVEs during CI/CD.
