BASTION: A Security Enforcement Network Stack for Container Networks
Dynamic and Efficient Network Security Policy Management
In this paper, we dig into the domain of container networks, doing a detailed security analysis to highlight important vulnerabilities arising from the exposure of needless network activities by containerized apps. This paper covers the major ramifications of such difficulties and presents a novel solution: BASTION is a high-performance security enforcement network stack developed to improve the security of container networks.
What is Included In This Technical Paper:
Challenges faced by container networks when relying on the host OS network stack and virtual networking features for security policies
Highlights of five limitations in managing communications in container ecosystems using the Host OS network stack
BASTION is an innovative security enforcement network stack that extends container hosting platforms with an intelligent communication sandbox. Bastion introduces two essential services: a network visibility service and a traffic visibility service. Benefits include fine-grained network topology control, security policy specifications, traffic visibility, dynamic policy management, and performance improvement in container networks.
Assessment of container network security challenges using BASTION prototype.
