Docker Security

Definitions

1. The set of practices and controls used to secure container images, runtimes, registries, and hosts in Docker-based environments. It includes image provenance, least-privilege execution, secret handling, and isolation between containers and the host.

   In plain English: Security for Docker containers, images, and the systems running them.

   Example: "Their Docker security review found root containers, stale base images, and secrets baked into layers."
