Containers and Images Requirements Catalogue
Canonical catalogue of security requirements for containers and images (CNT-001 to CNT-012), with applicability by risk level and acceptance criteria for the selection of base images, hardening, signing, scanning, runtime policies and access to registries.
Dynamic Application Validation (DAST)
Dynamic testing at runtime to detect vulnerabilities by simulating external interactions.
Hardening and Execution Restrictions in Containers
Minimisation, hardening and effective verification of permissions in images and containerised environments
Interactive Validation with Instrumentation (IAST)
Instrumentation of the application for real-time observation of vulnerabilities during execution.
Monitoring and Observability Domains
Identification and definition of the technical and operational domains to be monitored in modern systems.
SecOps (Security Operations)
Responsibilities of SecOps (Security Operations) in SbD-ToE
Secure and Minimal Base Images
Selection, hardening and validation of secure base images for containers
Secure Containers Policy
Organisational policy that defines the security requirements for the building, scanning, signing, runtime configuration and management of container images, including securityContext hardening, admission policies in Kubernetes, network isolation and runtime monitoring, proportional to the criticality level (L1, L2, L3).
Secure Execution of Containers in Kubernetes Clusters
Effective application and verification of security, isolation and control practices for containerised workloads
Self-Hosted AI Inference — Runtimes, Isolation and Weights
Operational patterns for serving self-hosted AI models (vLLM, Ollama, TGI, llama.cpp, NVIDIA Triton) — workload isolation, weight management, protection of inference, AI-specific container hardening.
Technical Enforcement of Runtime Policies with OPA and Kyverno
Automatic application of formal policies to block non-compliant executions, without replacing human decision
