Integrate security scanning and vulnerability management tools into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Cycode, Mondoo, etc.,).

Harden container runtimes, host operating systems, network policies, and cluster configurations against misconfigurations and attacks.

Perform threat modelling and risk assessments specific to containerized workloads (e.g., privilege escalations, supply chain risks).

Monitor container runtime and orchestration logs for suspicious activities; respond to and investigate security incidents.

Collaborate with DevOps, Cloud, and Application teams to embed "shift-left" security practices and provide training on secure container development.
