Attackers can steal credentials by searching through the container artifacts for any sensitive information that may have been inadvertently included, such as hard-coded passwords or API keys.
They can also intercept network traffic between containers and external systems to capture any credentials that may be transmitted in plaintext.

Detection
Detection Implement penetration testing Penetration testing, also known as ethical hacking or vulnerability assessment, is a proactive approach to mitigating cybersecurity risks.
It involves simulating real-world cyber attacks on a system, network, or application in a controlled and authorized manner to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses that could be exploited by malicious actors.

Detection
Detection Implement vulnerability assesment Vulnerability assessment is a proactive approach to mitigating cybersecurity risks by systematically identifying, evaluating, and prioritizing vulnerabilities in a system, network, or application.
It involves conducting regular assessments to identify potential weaknesses that could be exploited by attackers, and taking appropriate actions to remediate or mitigate those vulnerabilities.

Detection
Detection Implement Intrusion Detection System and anti-malware An intrusion detection system (IDS) is a security tool designed to detect and alert on unauthorized access to a computer system or network.
Implementing intrusion detection systems (IDS) and anti-malware software can help to identify and block malicious activity. IDS is a critical security tool that helps organizations to detect and respond to security incidents in a timely manner. By providing real-time monitoring and analysis of network traffic, IDS can help organizations to stay ahead of potential threats and reduce the risk of a security breach.
AppSec teams are overwhelmed by useless alerts, managing numerous applications with vulnerabilities across various kill-chain stages, making them increasingly susceptible to successful attacks.
