What is the Best Container Security Workflow for Your Organization?

Since containers are a primary means for developing and deploying today’s microservices, keeping them secure is highly important. Per https://sysdig.com/blog/2022-cloud-native-security-usage-report/#vulnerabilities, 75% of images have vulnerabilities considered either highly or critically severe.
