Container Security Engineering

Rootless Containers, Supply-Chain Integrity, and Runtime Defense for Modern DevSecOps

Containers power the world’s most critical infrastructure—but most container platforms are still deployed with implicit trust, excessive privileges, and fragile supply chains. As attacks shift from applications to build pipelines, registries, and runtimes, traditional “container security basics” are no longer enough.
Container Security Engineering is the definitive, modern guide for building hardened, verifiable, and continuously defended container platforms from the kernel up. Written for today’s DevSecOps reality and tomorrow’s threat landscape, this book moves beyond theory to deliver practical, production-ready security engineering for Linux containers.
This is a systems-level security playbook for engineers responsible for protecting real workloads in hostile environments.

What You’ll Learn
This book walks you through the entire container security lifecycle, combining deep technical foundations with hands-on implementation:
✔ Threat modeling containers with MITRE ATT&CK, shared-kernel risks, and real escape vectors
✔ Rootless container architectures using Podman and Docker with secure UID/GID mappings and user namespaces
✔ Host and kernel hardening with seccomp, SELinux, AppArmor, sysctl controls, and No New Privileges
✔ Supply-chain security with reproducible builds, vulnerability scanning, and SBOM generation using Trivy and Syft
✔ Image signing, provenance, and trust enforcement with cosign, registries, and policy gates
✔ CI/CD security automation using GitHub Actions, Open Policy Agent (OPA), and release controls
✔ Runtime defense and isolation across networking, filesystem access, and process boundaries
✔ eBPF-driven detection and observability with Falco and Tetragon for real-time threat visibility
✔ Zero-Trust container platforms, workload identity, micro-segmentation, and continuous validation
✔ A capstone project that builds a fully secured, monitored, and policy-enforced container platform from scratch

Who This Book Is For
This book is designed for professionals who need security guarantees, not assumptions:
• DevSecOps engineers securing CI/CD pipelines and production clusters
• Platform engineers building rootless, least-privilege container runtimes
• SREs and system administrators hardening Linux hosts and container platforms
• Security engineers and analysts seeking runtime visibility and detection
• Architects designing compliant, auditable, and zero-trust container environments
A working knowledge of Linux and containers is helpful—but this book teaches the security engineering mindset .

Modern, Practical, and Enterprise-Ready
All configurations, policies, and workflows have been validated on real Linux environments, including Fedora, Ubuntu, RHEL, and Rocky Linux. The book emphasizes open-source, vendor-neutral tooling and aligns with industry standards such as:
• CIS Benchmarks
• NIST SP 800-190
• MITRE ATT&CK for Containers
Appendices provide ready-to-use reference material, including rootless configuration guides, seccomp and SELinux cheat sheets, CI/CD templates, runtime detection rules, attack simulations, and a detailed glossary of container security terms.

Why This Book Matters
Container security has entered a new era—defined by rootless execution, verified supply chains, and continuous runtime defense. Organizations that fail to adapt will continue to ship insecure platforms by default.
Container Security Engineering gives you the knowledge, patterns, and confidence to build container platforms that are provably secure, operationally sound, and resilient by design.

Descripción de la tienda

We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
