Aqua Security’s 2021 Cloud Native Security Practitioner study found that only 3% recognize that a container, in and of itself, is not a security boundary. Only 18% realize they are at risk for zero days in containerized environments. Only 24% of respondents have plans in place to deploy the necessary building blocks for runtime security. 73% believed that they could stop software supply chain attacks evading static analysis, but in fact are not. The increasing volume of attacks demonstrates the importance of implementing holistic cloud native security, including runtime protection.
