In a scenario where your organization is adopting containerization for application deployment, what should be a primary security consideration to prevent container escape?
Container escape occurs when a malicious actor manages to break out of the container and gain access to the host system. Enforcing namespace isolation ensures that containers do not have system-level access, thereby minimizing the risk of container escape. This segregation of resources and environments helps maintain the unique security boundaries of each container. While other measures like data encryption, centralized logging, and API security are also important, they do not specifically address the risk of container escape.
