How to choose the right Container Security Software?

[Read our Buyer's Guide](#buyers-guide-content)

Table of Contents

-   [The benefits of container security software](#the-benefits-of-container-security-software)
-   [Typical features of container security software](#typical-features-of-container-security-software)
-   [The cost of container security software](#the-cost-of-container-security-software)
-   [Considerations when purchasing container security software](#considerations-when-purchasing-container-security-software)

## The benefits of container security software

-   **Maintains the integrity of third-party source code:** Although most developers are successfully able to validate the security of custom code, a recent study has shown that [96% of third-party source code](https://www.zdnet.com/article/96-of-third-party-container-applications-deployed-in-cloud-infrastructure-contain-known-vulnerabilities-unit-42/) that is used in container deployments had known security vulnerabilities. Furthermore, considering that most of these third-party components are [rarely updated](https://www.darkreading.com/application-security/79--of-third-party-libraries-in-apps-are-never-updated/d/d-id/1341383), third-party code is one of the easiest access points through which hackers can insert malicious lines of code. By utilizing container security software, existing and future security deficiencies in third-party code can be identified and isolated.
    
-   **Distributes software safely and effectively:** Containers are quickly becoming the de facto means of software distribution. It is estimated that in 2022, [75% of organizations will be using containers](https://www.gartner.com/smarterwithgartner/6-best-practices-for-creating-a-container-platform-strategy) as the preferred means for rolling out new applications. Container security software will ensure that your clients can safely deploy the applications you have developed for them and avoid potential harm to your company's reputation.
    
-   **Provides protection at runtime:** Container security software can be configured to scan for malicious lines of code at runtime to ensure that you and your customers are working with the most recent and secure version of your product.
    

* * *

## Typical features of container security software

-   **Container scanning:** Scans software containers for vulnerabilities or compliance issues before being deployed to production.
    
-   **Continuous integration:** Automatically updates any code changes from multiple contributors so that all users are working with the same container contents.
    
-   **Policy management:** Allows administrators to manage container security policies and make changes to them based on different business cases.
    
-   **Runtime container security:** Performs security scans on the container application environment in real time by vetting the container's hosts, ports, protocols, and payloads.
    
-   **Access permissions:** Controls who can view and use the software container by setting permissions and issuing passwords.
    
-   **Activity dashboard:** Provides a visual, easy-to-read interface for administrators that allows them to monitor and change container security policies from a single screen.
    
-   **Application programming interface (API):** Provides source coding that allows container security tools to be run from third-party systems or databases.
    
-   **Compliance management:** Tracks and manages instances of non-adherence to container security policies by services, products, processes, or suppliers.
    
-   **Container isolation:** Ensures that container-based applications are run from a virtual space that protects their host environment from vulnerabilities.
    
-   **Metadata management:** Monitors and tracks key file metadata (e.g., file size, creation/access dates, versions, etc.) and flags any inconsistencies for review.

## The cost of container security software

Most products in this market are priced on a per-user, per-month basis, billed annually. Pricing can be divided into three pricing tiers based on the starting prices:

**Price ranges\*:**

-   $9 - $11
    
-   $11 - $50
    
-   $50+
    

_\*The pricing included is for the entry-level/lowest-priced offering found on vendor websites on April 8, 2022. These ranges correspond to the 25th, 75th, and 100th percentiles of pricing information gathered from vendor websites of sample products._

* * *

## Considerations when purchasing container security software

-   **Image scan vs. network scan:** Container security can either be coordinated at the container image level, where individual development assets are scanned for vulnerabilities as they are added or changed, or at the network level, where the goal is to prohibit external attackers from altering source code. Your decision to purchase one package over the other may depend on how many access points there are to your source code.
    
-   **Cost of ownership:** The majority of container security software packages provide companies with a free trial so administrators can explore the software's feature set before making a long-term investment. Considering that most offerings are subsequently priced out on a per-feature basis, it's important to use the trial period to identify which modules will ultimately provide the most benefit to your specific application development environment.
    
-   **Type of source code:** While most container security packages employ software composition analysis (SCA) to scan third-party open source content for vulnerabilities, others use more powerful static application security test (SAST) tools to additionally look for security deficiencies in custom code. Before purchasing container security software, it's important to consider the nature of your projects' source code to determine if the added expense of SAST is necessary.
