The process of selecting a base image represents a pivotal phase in container security. The base image acts as the foundational layer for all subsequent layers within the container image, indicating that any vulnerabilities present in the base image can be propagated to all derived containers. Consequently, the selection of a secure base image is vital for mitigating the risk of vulnerabilities.
By aggregating logs from a variety of security tools such as EDR, firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and cloud security measures SIEM platforms deliver a thorough overview of the complete security landscape.
