About the Book

The security defaults of Docker are established to get you up and running ("just work") quickly, rather than being the most secure. There are many default configurations that can be improved upon. This book will help you do just that.

Covering the risks and countermeasures of Docker security, based on Kim's own personal experience with Docker environments and discussions with Docker Security Team Lead Diogo Mónica.
