• Run containers with non-root user (--user 1000:1000)
• Use --security-opt=no-new-privileges flag
• Regularly update container images for security patches
• Implement proper network segmentation
• Monitor container metrics for anomalies

⁠Kubernetes Security Context

securityContext:
  runAsNonRoot: true
  runAsUser: 1000
  runAsGroup: 1000
