Wie Cloud- und Container-Umgebungen effektiv geschützt werden können
Container und Kubernetes haben die Entwicklung und Bereitstellung moderner Anwendungen grundlegend verändert. Ihre Vorteile liegen auf der Hand: Skalierbarkeit, Flexibilität und Geschwindigkeit. Doch diese Vorteile bringen auch neue Risiken mit sich. Mit der steigenden Zahl von Containern wächst auch die Angriffsfläche und damit wiederum die Anforderungen an Sicherheitskonzepte, die über klassische Ansätze hinausgehen müssen. […]…
