PROFILING OF SPAWNED PROCESSES IN CONTAINER IMAGES AND ENFORCING SECURITY POLICIES RESPECTIVE THEREOF

摘要

A method for securing execution of software containers using security profiles. The method comprises receiving an event indicating that a container image requires profiling, wherein the container image includes resources utilized to execute a corresponding application container; generating a security profile for the container image, wherein the generated security profile includes at least a spawned processes profile, wherein the security profile is of the container image corresponding to the application container; monitoring the operation of a runtime execution of the application container; and detecting a violation of the spawned processes profile based on the monitored operation.
