Containers don’t fail at build time. They fail at runtime.
Container Runtime Hardening & Tools is a practical, authoritative, and execution-focused guide to securing containers while they are running—where real attacks happen and traditional security tools fall short.
This book goes beyond image scanning and CI/CD checks to show you how attackers actually exploit container runtimes, escape isolation, abuse privileges, and persist undetected. You’ll learn how to design, detect, enforce, audit, and automate runtime security across Docker, containerd, CRI-O, and Kubernetes—at enterprise scale.
Packed with real-world attack scenarios, hands-on labs, kernel-level insights, AI-driven detection strategies, and enterprise-ready architectures, this is not theory—it’s how modern container security is done in production.
If you work with Kubernetes, cloud-native platforms, DevSecOps, or platform security, this book gives you the skills to move from reactive alerts to enforced runtime control.
Secure behavior. Not assumptions. Because runtime is where truth lives.
