Gartner Names Container Security Among Top 10 Security Projects for 2019

This document provides a concise set of container security best practices—starting with image assurance (scanning and allowing only approved, signed images), ongoing registry scanning, and CI/CD integration—followed by runtime protection recommendations (hardened hosts, CIS benchmarks, monitoring for suspicious behavior), drift prevention (ensuring containers remain immutable and derived from approved images), and reducing attack surface via capability whitelisting and ML-based behavior whitelists; it cites Gartner’s Top 10 Security Projects for 2019 and highlights how Aqua’s controls support these practices.
