Containers are a cornerstone of modern software development. They let developers package applications with all dependencies and run them consistently across environments, reducing setup headaches. But this convenience also brings new security challenges.

Securing containers means protecting the application's integrity, confidentiality, and availability throughout its lifecycle, from image creation to deployment and runtime, keeping it free from vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and malicious activity.

By the end of this course, learners will be able to recall how to choose a secure container and securely implement it into their CI/CD.
