Widespread adoption of containerization and DevOps has introduced new cyber risks, but organizations are showing signs of maturing and adapting to the challenges of these dynamic modern environments.

The extensive adoption of containerization and DevOps has changed enterprise software supply chain risks dramatically. In many ways, enterprise software risks have increased considerably because of the rising use of third-party software components. The encouraging news is that organizations are starting to show signs of maturing and adapting to the challenges of these newer and more dynamic environments.

Software containers are here to stay. According to the “Anchore 2021 Software Supply Chain Security Report,” 65% of enterprise respondents say they deliver a “significant” number of applications within containers. Not surprisingly, cloud service providers, software makers and other technology-focused organizations lead when it comes to container use.
