This whitepaper will introduce you to the security concepts around Linux technology and Docker containers. Key Takeaways Include:

• How Containers provide an additional layer of protection by isolating between the applications and the host, and between the applications themselves without using incremental resources
• How Containers and Virtual Machines (VMs) can be deployed together to provide additional layers of isolation and security for application services.
• How the nature of containers facilitates fast and easy application of patches and updates to the OS, application and infrastructure layers, helping maintain overall security compliance.
