Key Trends in the Market

A container is a software file package that consists of application code, dependencies, and library, among others, which is required to run an application. Container security is a set of tools, practices, and policies that protect containerised applications, infrastructure, and software supply chains from potential risks.

• Increased collaboration between DevOps and the security team of an organisation to achieve the concept of ‘policy as code’ is one of the prominent container security market trends. This involves the integration of security throughout the application development lifecycle to remove critical vulnerabilities and allow more teams to have responsibility for container security.
• Several businesses and organisations are readily deploying vulnerability scanners that can scan different layers of a multilayer container application to mitigate security risks such as insider attacks and vulnerability exploits.
• The increasing adoption of cloud 2.0 among businesses, which provides native cloud security and networking which makes the containers more secure, provides impetus to the container security market growth.
• Market players are focused on strategic acquisitions and partnerships to enhance container security programs for their customers and stay ahead of their competitors.
