Get better container security with GitLab: 4 real-world examples

This post details how GitLab's security features (Secret Detection, Dependency Scanning, DAST, WAF, Container Host Security, Network Policies, Pod Security Policies) can be used to prevent and detect specific attack vectors (exposed credentials, supply chain attacks, exploits leading to execution, lateral movement, reverse shells, filesystem modification) in containerized applications. It maps these attack scenarios to MITRE ATT&CK tactics and demonstrates how GitLab's CI/CD pipeline and Kubernetes integrations provide layered security.
