Effective Security Protocols for Containerized Applications

Abstract

Containerized applications have transformed the deployment and scalability of software systems, enabling faster development cycles and more efficient resource utilization. However, this transformation has introduced new security challenges that must be addressed to protect sensitive data and maintain system integrity. This paper explores effective security protocols for containerized applications, focusing on best practices and emerging technologies that enhance security in container environments. Topics include container isolation, image security, runtime protection, network security, and monitoring. The paper also examines case studies to highlight real-world applications of these protocols, providing actionable insights for organizations aiming to secure their containerized environments against a wide range of threats.
