This comprehensive guide explains why container and Kubernetes security is critical in modern cloud-native environments and outlines how to evaluate solutions. It highlights major risks such as vulnerabilities in images, misconfigurations across layers, excessive privileges, and exposed secrets. The guide emphasizes the need for full lifecycle security—from code to runtime—integrated into CI/CD pipelines. It also identifies key capabilities like continuous visibility, contextual risk analysis, and cross-layer correlation of risks. The main takeaway is that effective container security requires an agentless, unified solution that provides context, prioritization, and coverage across containers, Kubernetes, and cloud environments.
