Container technologies enable you to build and scale applications more rapidly than ever before, but the increased complexity and the ephemeral nature of container environments creates new vulnerabilities and attack vectors that expose your application to potentially crippling security risks. Each layer of your container application, including your code and third-party dependencies, exposes you to new security concerns, and we’re going to show you just how easy they are to exploit! 

In this live hacking session, we’ll exploit an application as an attacker would in order to showcase some of the most common container vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, and what they can do to expose your container application to a malicious actor. We’ll then show you clear remediation actions and best practices for each attack scenario, and demonstrate how you can protect your application by automatically detecting container image vulnerabilities in registries like Amazon ECR and monitor Amazon EKS clusters for new vulnerabilities after deployment. 

In this webinar, experts from both Snyk and AWS will showcase:

• Some of the most commonly known exploits for container applications
• How best to plug vulnerability scanning into a container delivery pipeline 
• How to efficiently remediate vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in container workloads using Snyk
• How to use Snyk to continuously monitor manifests for newly discovered vulnerabilities
