Containers Aren’t Secure by Default: Debunking the Illusion of Safety

Containers boost speed and scale, but they also introduce risks that are too often overlooked. In this 20-minute session, we’ll challenge the biggest myths surrounding container security and show why simply containerizing your applications does not make them safe.

We explore:

• The Illusion of Safety: Today’s top misconceptions and assumptions when building and deploying applications using containers.
  
  
• The Trouble with Public Registries: How Docker Hub and other registries have become hotspots for typosquatting, malware injection, and unverified images that slip into production.
  
  
• The Hidden Danger of Public Packages: How attackers exploit open-source ecosystems through dependency confusion, malicious maintainers, and transitive dependencies that quietly compromise your containers.
