As federal agencies increasingly adopt cloud-native applications, containerized environments have become essential for deploying and scaling applications efficiently. Containers allow developers to package applications with all dependencies in isolated, consistent environments that run across multiple platforms, making them a popular choice for cloud service providers. However, this rise in container use also introduces unique security challenges, especially for CSPs pursuing or maintaining FedRAMP compliance.
FedRAMP’s rigorous requirements for securing cloud services mean that container security has become a critical factor in compliance efforts. By implementing robust container security practices, CSPs can protect their environments, meet FedRAMP’s stringent standards, and provide secure and compliant services to federal agencies.
