The Docker Container Environment's Security Risk Assessment

Key Points

The central aim is to assess security risks in Docker container environments using a systematic framework.
Analyzing major attack vectors through the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
Identifying key vulnerabilities in Docker environments.
Proposing mitigation strategies throughout the container lifecycle.
Comprehensive understanding of attack vectors affecting Docker containers.
Identification of critical vulnerabilities present in container environments.
Proposed strategies significantly improve security posture based on best practices.

Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive framework for assessing security risks in Docker container environments. It analyzes major attack vectors using the MITRE ATT&CK framework, identifies key vulnerabilities, and proposes mitigation strategies to enhance container security. The study follows a lifecycle-based approach covering pre-deployment, runtime, and post-incident phases. By integrating industry best practices and real-world case studies, the paper provides a practical guide for improving container security posture.
