Applying Zero-Trust Security to Docker Containers

Several strategies exist to apply the principles of zero-trust security to development environments based on Docker Desktop to protect against the risks of security breaches, Docker senior technical leader Jay Schmidt explains.

The zero-trust security model has gained traction in the last few years as an effective strategy to protect sensitive data, lower the risk of security breaches, get visibility into network traffic, and more. It can be applied to traditional systems as well as to container-based architectures, which are affected by image vulnerabilities, cyberattacks, unauthorized access, and other security risks.
