Container Security Standard (CIS)

The Container Security Standard (CIS) provides best practices and guidelines to ensure that containerized applications—software packaged in isolated units—are secure. It helps organizations identify vulnerabilities, manage configurations, and implement controls to prevent unauthorized access or attacks. Essentially, CIS offers a set of clear, actionable steps to protect these container environments, which are widely used in modern software development and deployment, ensuring they remain safe from security threats while operating efficiently.
