Are you running the container image you think you're running? What tools are you giving an attacker entering your container? This talk is an introduction to container image hardening, where we will cover the lowest hanging fruits of securing out workloads and starting to run containers securely. We will cover privilege escalation, supply chain considerations and Do's and Don't's of a Dockerfile.
