Hah, yeah, the ops teams definitely have a handle on what's supposed to be running in those containers. I bet they love the idea of being able to just whitelist the approved processes and block everything else.

Yeah, and Docker's runtime analysis capabilities can really help automate the process of building that whitelist. It can monitor the container and suggest the minimum set of processes that need to be allowed.

This question is really getting at the heart of why containers are so well-suited for a whitelist-based security approach. The key is that containers typically have a very small, defined set of processes that should be running - unlike a traditional server or VM which can have all sorts of random processes.
