A cost-effective and less sophisticated alternative to Virtual Machines (Containers) have revolutionized the application delivery approach. They have dramatically reduced the intake of IT labor and resources in managing application infrastructure. Yet, while securing containers and containerized ecosystems, software teams are met with many roadblocks. Especially for enterprise teams accustomed to more traditional network security processes and strategies.

Somewhere we have made it sound like they’re inherently secure and almost impenetrable to threats. But how far-fetched is this idea? Let’s dive right into it.
