While adoption of container architectures and microservices continues at an impressive pace, maintaining automated and proactive security and compliance is a particularly acute challenge for respondents, a NeuVector survey of more than 1,200 enterprise DevOps professionals reveals.

Most interestingly: while container and Kubernetes security was cited as a top concern, many respondents also reported that their current security tools and practices are not well-matched for meeting ongoing security requirements.

These multi-cloud deployments multiply an organization's security concerns by increasing the difficulty of managing security across platforms and policies across different clusters.

These enterprises require a Kubernetes-native security strategy capable of deploying automated security and supporting each cloud and platform in use.

Just 20% of respondents have a compliance tool in place for their container and Kubernetes environments.

"Most respondents express concern over the security of their container environments, and especially their Kubernetes deployments in production," said Glen Kosaka, VP of Product Management, NeuVector.
