Container Security (CSE)
It is no secret that container systems are replacing old virtualization paradigms, but with this technological progress, the way security is handled also changes.
ISGroup, with its team of experts, has extensive and deep knowledge of new container systems and has therefore decided to offer the Container Security service.
The container security service offers companies the assurance that container instances operate exclusively as intended and are secure from third-party attacks.
This is a complicated process because it involves numerous and varied checks that allow the entire container stack to be kept secure.
The expertise of the ISGroup team extends not only to simple AWS, Azure, and Docker container instances but also to all hybrid and multi-cloud systems implemented through these systems.
Description
Containers, although a promising technology, are not without downsides. This cloud computing solution is affected by potential vulnerabilities inherent in the operation of the containers themselves.
Some vulnerabilities may hide at the "low level" and aim to compromise all containers sharing the same vulnerable kernel. Other vulnerabilities may depend on bugs in the containerization software, in which case it would be possible to "escape" the container through a privilege escalation that allows the attacker to have root permissions on the entire machine.
More commonly, vulnerabilities are hidden in the images used for containers; if a compromised image is adopted, the operation of the entire container instance could be compromised.
Aware of these new paradigms, the ISGroup security team, expert in container security, will be able to assess the security in place on a hybrid or multi-cloud system based on containers and propose solutions for any security shortcomings.
Specifications
ISGroup, during a Container Security assessment, will evaluate numerous aspects of the security of a container-based system, starting from the possible vulnerabilities inherent in the containers, up to more general aspects of infrastructure security.
The Cloud Security process consists of implementing tools and security policies that can ensure that everything within the container functions as it should. To do this, it is necessary to protect the infrastructure, the software supply chain, the running container, and everything in between.
The aspects considered with particular attention are:
Host security;
Container-related network traffic;
Containerized application security;
Malicious behaviors in the application;
Securing the management stack;
Correctness of configuration files.
The ISGroup team will evaluate these and other aspects to ensure that the security of the containerized application is as efficient as possible. If deficiencies are noted, the team will compile a comprehensive report and propose security solutions by collaborating and working alongside DevOps throughout the implementation process.
Output
The output provided to the client will be a detailed and explanatory report of the conclusions formulated by the team, summarizing the results of the activity.
Specifically, the report is a document divided into 3 thematic areas:
Executive Summary
A brief non-technical summary of the activity carried out and the security status of the containers analyzed by the expert team.
Vulnerability Details
A section dedicated to the Security Manager that delves into the details of the analysis.
A document containing a detailed description of the vulnerabilities highlighted during the assessment.
Remediation Plan
A technical section dedicated to System Administrators. The document will detail the steps necessary to address the vulnerabilities related to the analyzed containers.
