Just as virtualized operating systems revolutionized how we deploy IT infrastructure, virtualized applications in containers have the potential to revolutionize how we deploy web applications. But as with any new technology, rapid adoption can present new security risks and potentially leave your applications open to attack. You need to be able to assess all layers of your new application infrastructure and ensure that your customer and critical data isn’t put at risk.
Secure every layer of your brave new containerized world
From securing container images pre-deployment to scanning production applications using coding best practices, Rapid7 is uniquely positioned to help organizations build out a secure containerized application development program; our products and service offerings enable security teams and application developers to think about containers like attackers do.
