Recently, Docker introduced Hardened Images: streamlined, security-optimized images that include only the essential components required to run specific workloads. By minimizing unnecessary software, these images significantly reduce the attack surface, marking a notable advancement in base image security for cloud-native environments. These images, coupled with Docker’s commitment to rapid remediation of critical vulnerabilities, provide strong protection at the operating system level.

While these capabilities primarily address many external threats, they do not mitigate any risks originating within the cloud infrastructure itself, such as those posed by compromised service accounts or malicious administrators.

This is where Polaris Secure Containers provide essential, complementary protection. By encrypting memory in use and maintaining workload isolation throughout execution, Polaris safeguards sensitive data from unauthorized access, including cloud service providers and privileged internal users.
