This product is for container-based security. It is a new tool; recently, they have been working independently with some kind of policy-based approach. So basically, what happens is that the container developer is not focusing much on security. They develop those things and write the code, mainly focusing on the delivery aspects, running the application, and building the logic. But security is an essential part of the organization. So AccuKnox basically provides security at the pod level so that after the application is developed and running and once it is integrated with AccuKnox, it is integrated with the application for the cluster. For example, if it is GCP Cloud, it provides security posture as well. And if Kubernetes is running on that or on-prem, it can also be integrated. Once that is integrated, it scans the entire cluster and provides security for the container, the application, and the workload. It suggests the best policies that should be used. For example, if some pods have been exposed or some processes are running that can cause malware or surface attacks, the policy they suggest can be pushed up. Once the policy is pushed up, for example, if some container or cloud application is running with a root user, it means anyone can access all the files and folders. So, the policy can suggest blocking certain processes or only allowing certain processes or commands in the pod so that no one can attack them. The policy is suggested, and they can apply it. Once the policy is applied to the cluster by AccuKnox, the entire cloud-based application is secure. So, basically, it is a good tool from a container perspective. It also uses kernel-based security. This tool basically runs on Linux-based machines.
Container Security plays a significant role in safeguarding applications within containers, ensuring that the data and operations remain protected throughout the lifecycle.
As containers become integral to modern software development, securing these environments is critical. Container Security involves various practices and tools aimed at protecting containerized applications from potential threats. This includes monitoring, vulnerability management, and access control to ensure the integrity...
