An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
Because of their inherently ephemeral, dynamic nature, containers require a new approach to cybersecurity. Manual policies, static IP addresses, and agents are not relevant to the world of containers.
NeuVector addresses these challenges for both Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift environments with its next-generation container firewall.
This firewall learns the behavior of individual containers on the fly, including what microservices, operating systems, and runtimes are running on them and what network connections and APIs they have.
NeuVector then abstracts container policies to the service and application level, enabling the firewall to detect suspicious behavior immediately. Such behavior includes that which traditional firewalls won’t recognize, like illicit cryptomining software, as well as known threats like botnets running denial of service attacks.
NeuVector also provides data loss protection (DLP), because it has visibility into all data flowing into and out of each container.
