NeuVector announced the findings of its 2021 EU Container Security Survey. The new report finds that while adopting container architectures and microservices continues at an impressive pace, maintaining automated and proactive security and compliance is a particularly acute challenge for respondents.
NeuVector polled more than 1,200 enterprise DevOps professionals attending KubeCon EU 2021. More than 89% of these survey respondents have active container deployments and 88% plan additional container deployments in the next 6-12 months. Kubernetes is the most used orchestration platform among respondents, followed by Red Hat OpenShift and Rancher. AWS took the top three positions among cloud platforms used, with respondents naming AWS EC2, AWS EKS, and AWS Fargate the most popular options. But most interestingly: while container and Kubernetes security was cited as a top concern, many respondents also reported that their current security tools and practices are not well-matched for meeting ongoing (and continually escalating) security requirements.
