What is the Compliance-Ready Container Security Practice course about?
Teams are under pressure to ship faster using containers, yet face growing compliance demands that slow deployment cycles. Manual checks, fragmented tooling, and inconsistent policies create friction between security, compliance, and engineering, leading to rework, audit findings, and delayed releases.
