As more organizations create, spread and use Docker containers, the risk of security vulnerabilities grows. Docker images are largely built on top of other images, meaning a vulnerability in one image is also present in all the images that utilize it.

The wide adoption of Docker comes at a price - a single vulnerability can be widely spread and have major impact.

We took a closer look at the raw data from our State of Open Source Security report, to gain a better understanding of the Docker landscape and its associated security risks and best practices. In this report we look at common security problems with Docker containers and Docker images and some of the actions you can take to improve security.
