Putting a lock around your containers with Docker Security Primitives

Presented at BruCON 0x08 (2016), Oct. 27, 2016, 10:30 a.m. (120 minutes)

Docker, the new kid on the block, has taken the Ops world by storm. Suddenly everybody wants applications to be containerized and kick them from a development machine up to a production stack in seconds. But this new paradigm obviously has consequences in terms of security and compliance. In this talk we'll look at how to construct a container around applications and dive deeper into how we can put a tight lock around it, thanks to the built-in security primitives.
