Part of the foundation of Container Security is the concept of “hardening” a Docker container. A “hardened” container simply means that the container is stripped of unnecessary software to limit potential vulnerabilities that can be exploited by attackers. A container hardening engineer hardens and maintains the wide variety of software tools and applications required for development and production within the greater DevSecOps community.

They enable efficient delivery of value to our customers through effective infrastructure and fast pipelines, empowering application developers to deliver at the speed desired for the project.
