Container Orchestration

Container orchestration involves organizing groups of containers that make up an application, managing their deployment, scaling, networking, and their availability to ensure they're running optimally.

What is containerization?

Containerization encapsulates an application and its dependencies into a container image, facilitating consistent execution across any host operating system supporting a container engine.

Kubernetes as a service

Kubernetes as a service (KaaS) is a model in which hyperscalers like AWS, GCP, and Azure allow you to quickly and easily start a Kubernetes cluster and begin deploying workloads on it instantly.

Kubernetes Vulnerability Scanning

Kubernetes vulnerability scanning is the systematic process of inspecting a Kubernetes cluster (including its container images and configurations) to detect security misconfigurations or vulnerabilities that could compromise the security posture of the cluster.

Container Registries Explained

A container registry is a service that stores, manages, and distributes application images. Its architecture is designed to ensure availability by providing a centralized resource for container image discovery, distribution, and deployment.

Secure Coding Explained

Wiz Experts Team

Secure coding is the practice of developing software that is resistant to security vulnerabilities by applying security best practices, techniques, and tools early in development.

What is KSPM?

Kubernetes Security Posture Management (KSPM) is the practice of monitoring, assessing, and ensuring the security and compliance of Kubernetes environments.

Code Security

Code security comprises programming practices, techniques, and tools that ensure your code isn’t susceptible to security vulnerabilities.

Container Security Scanning

Container security scanning is a process that systematically analyzes container images for vulnerabilities and security issues, allowing developers to address potential threats before they escalate into breaches.

Container Scanning Tools

Looking to make the most of containerization while minimizing risk? Container scanning solutions are a critical line of defense that help ensure the safe and secure deployment of applications.

Secure SDLC

Secure SDLC (SSDLC) is a framework for enhancing software security by integrating security designs, tools, and processes across the entire development lifecycle.
