Episode 14 — Containerization and Virtualization Demystified: Isolation, Images, and Escape Risks (Task 2)
This episode explains containers and virtualization in security terms, focusing on how isolation works, where it fails, and what evidence proves controls are correctly configured. You will define container images, registries, runtime permissions, and virtualization boundaries, then connect those concepts to risks such as supply chain tampering, secret exposure, and container escape or host compromise. We will discuss why “immutable” infrastructure can still drift through configuration changes, and how logging, monitoring, and access control must adapt to short-lived workloads. You will also hear examples of misconfigurations like privileged containers, exposed management interfaces, and overly permissive orchestration roles, along with practical remediation steps that fit real operations. The exam typically tests your ability to identify the right control layer and the most likely failure point.
