As we all know, the Docker platform makes it easy for developers to update and control the data and software in containers. Similarly, Docker enables efficiently ensuring all the components that make an application are current and consistent at all times. Docker also innately delivers logical segregation of applications running on the same physical host. This celebrated isolation perfectly promotes fine-grained and efficient enforcement of security policies. However, as in the traditional environment, data at rest is susceptible to various attacks ceaselessly from cyber and internal attackers. There are other negative opportunities and possibilities for Docker environments to be subjected to heavy bombardment. Consequently, there is an insistence for proper safeguards to be in place. The faster and easier proliferation of containers and data can significantly expand the number and types of threats targeting containerized clouds.
Organizations can establish strong controls around their sensitive data in Docker implementations in an efficient manner. This solution enables data-at-rest encryption, privileged user access control, and the collection of security intelligence logs for structured databases and unstructured files. With these capabilities, organizations can establish persistent, strong controls around their stored Docker images and protect all data generated by Docker containers when the data is being written to the Docker host storage on an NFS mount or a local folder.
