Abstract

According to Forrester, 53% of IT respondents say their biggest concern about containers is security. Containerization is not only prevalent in browsers (Google Chrome), desktop applications (Adobe Reader X), and mobile operating systems (Apple iOS), but is also invading the data center via Docker. Docker and other LXC-based containerization solutions provide isolation via Linux control groups (cgroups). However, containers can still be exploited and even with kernel-level isolation, critical data can be stolen. In this presentation, the FlawCheck team will exploit real-world Docker implementations and show what can be done to mitigate the risk.
