Container and Kubernetes Security Concerns are Inhibiting Business Innovation
"The latest edition of this report is our third time asking companies to comment on what aspects of their container strategy they’re most concerned with. Security has topped the list each time. We’re also not surprised because Kubernetes is complicated, and while containers and Kubernetes offer a lot of security advantages (declarative data, immutable infrastructure), getting the settings correct to protect the infrastructure is not intuitive," says Michelle McLean, Vice President of Product Marketing at StackRox."When you look at other feedback in the survey, particularly where people feel challenged with Kubernetes, you see that a skills gap and the steep learning curve top that list, which feeds into concerns about getting security correct. Plus, anecdotally, we see companies all the time who are at least partway down the path on their container and Kubernetes journey who feel like they have not yet taken the steps they need to have to secure this new cloud-native stack."
