2 Widespread Attacks on Your Containerized Environment and 7 Rules to Prevent it.

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on dev.to

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • cadvisor

    Analyzes resource usage and performance characteristics of running containers.

  • CAdvisor, which is also a pretty powerful tool to monitor your container. Moreover, you can also run it in the Kubernetes cluster.

  • prometheus

    The Prometheus monitoring system and time series database.

  • Prometheus and Grafana. Prometheus is a logging component that “scrapes” information from your container and puts it into a data source. The data sources can be SQL, NoSQL data storage. Also, Prometheus has an Alert Manager component. It allows users to create rule-based alerts. Grafana is a framework that helps to build complex UI dashboards. The dashboards can be easily configured to get data from Prometheus.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • kube-bench

    Checks whether Kubernetes is deployed according to security best practices as defined in the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark

  • Also, I use the security tool Kube-bench that covers vulnerabilities scanning only. The Kubebench brings an additional layer to your cluster security monitoring. There are plenty of security tools available for Kubernetes.

  • Grafana

    The open and composable observability and data visualization platform. Visualize metrics, logs, and traces from multiple sources like Prometheus, Loki, Elasticsearch, InfluxDB, Postgres and many more.

  • dagda

    a tool to perform static analysis of known vulnerabilities, trojans, viruses, malware & other malicious threats in docker images/containers and to monitor the docker daemon and running docker containers for detecting anomalous activities

  • Dagda uses a static analysis approach to find viruses, malware, and fake sub-images and trojans. It is based on Red Hat Security Advisories (RHSA) libraries of existing vulnerabilities databases.

  • Harbor

    An open source trusted cloud native registry project that stores, signs, and scans content.

  • Harbor, which is an open source registry with integrated vulnerability scanning. It is based on security policies that apply on docker artifacts.

  • trivy

    Find vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, secrets, SBOM in containers, Kubernetes, code repositories, clouds and more

  • Trivy can detect complex vulnerabilities with high accuracy for OS like Alpine Linux and RHEL/CentOS , Debian, Ubuntu, and others. It is quite powerful, opensource, and free. You can run Trivi in standalone or client/server modes. Therefore you can add it to your CI/CD process.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • clair

    Vulnerability Static Analysis for Containers

  • Clair is used for static analysis of your images. It supports images that are based on the Open Container Initiative (OCI). You can build your services for scanning images that can be based on Clair API. Clair uses CVE databases to detect vulnerabilities.

  • kubeaudit

    kubeaudit helps you audit your Kubernetes clusters against common security controls
