Secure Your Embedded Containers from Cloud to Edge

Containerization revolutionizes software deployment by packaging applications and their dependencies into portable, isolated units called containers. In fact, according to Enterprise Strategy Group research, 77% of organizations state they support eleven to more than twenty containers per hosts in their environments. When applied to embedded systems, this technology streamlines resource-efficient deployment, enabling seamless application management across diverse devices. Deployment of containers into embedded platforms comes with security risks and attacks including remote code executions, man-in-the-middle attacks, and privilege escalation. Thwarting these types of attacks necessitates meticulous attention to developer practices and deployment strategies to ensure comprehensive container security. What you will learn: • Fundamentals of containers and their adoption on embedded systems • Security risks surrounding embedded container technology • Tips for securing containers from development to deployment on embedded systems
