Benefits of containerization

66% of organizations adopting containers experienced accelerated developer efficiency

50% of production environment costs (on average) have been saved

Container deployment

73% of companies have a more consistent deployment process
50-70% of container users now use them to deploy applications in production
82% expect to have more than 100 containers deployed within the next 2 years

Concerns involving containerization

35-45% consider security a primary concern for containerizing production environments
80% think they can improve their approach to container security
53% believe detecting vulnerabilities in container images is a top concern

The benefits of continuous delivery and containers are clear, but ensuring the security of applications delivered to production environments is the next hurdle to overcome as containers go mainstream.

Black Duck OpsSight enables IT Operations teams to scan and monitor open source risk of containers in the production environment. OpsSight automatically scans containers and identified open source security vulnerabilities as they are utilized—ensuring a security review process that scales to any containerized environment.
