About Docker Security Training Advanced Training.
Understand where Docker Security Training fits in modern software delivery, what this level covers, and how the program builds practical confidence step by step.
Program overview
Docker Security Training is taught as a practical technical skill for modern engineering, operations and platform teams. The course explains where the tool fits, how it is used in real delivery environments, and how learners can apply it through guided practice.
This DevOpsSchool Docker Security Training program is built for working professionals who want usable skills instead of only conceptual exposure. The training emphasizes live examples, workflow clarity, operational controls and progressive skill depth from Foundation to Advanced.
Private Docker Security Training training for delivery teams, platform groups and engineering organizations.
DevOpsSchool provides corporate Docker Security Training training for teams that need faster adoption, workflow standardization, administrative control, integration guidance and governance-ready rollout. Private batches can be aligned to development practice, release workflow, access model, maturity level and internal tooling.
- Private online or classroom delivery for engineering teams
- Aligned to Docker Security Training usage maturity, admin depth and collaboration patterns
- Useful for rollout, migration, governance and workflow consistency goals
- Can be tailored for developers, administrators, DevOps teams and leadership stakeholders
Why teams use DevOpsSchool
DevOpsSchool combines live demonstration, practical workflow discussion, implementation-oriented examples, and strong post-session learning support. That makes the training more usable for real teams than generic slide-led courses.

What learners should be able to do after Docker Security Training training.
The outcomes are written for practical delivery teams: developers, DevOps engineers, release engineers, administrators and technical leads.
Apply kernel-level controls
Use namespaces, cgroups, capabilities, seccomp, AppArmor and SELinux to isolate containers on a Docker host.
Build trusted, hardened images
Write secure Dockerfiles, scan and audit images, and pull only signed images from trusted registries.
Monitor and respond at runtime
Detect runtime threats with Falco and logging, and respond to container incidents with a repeatable process.

Foundation Level: Docker security challenges and architectureDay 1
- Understanding Docker security challenges: shared kernel, image supply chain, daemon privileges and container sprawl
- Protecting your Docker containers: defence in depth across host, daemon, image, application runtime and code
- Understanding Docker architecture: Docker daemon, CLI, containerd, runc and the Docker Registry from a security view
- Kernel namespaces: pid, net, mnt, ipc, uts and user namespaces and the isolation each one provides
- Control groups: CPU, memory, pids and block I/O controllers and how Docker applies them
- Linux kernel capabilities (libcap): capsh and getpcaps, the default Docker capability set
- SELinux, AppArmor and seccomp: mandatory access control and system call filtering in plain terms
- Docker security levels: host and runtime security, application runtime security and code level security
- Installing Docker securely: official repositories, package signature checks and the rootless install option
- First posture checks: docker info security options, docker inspect for Privileged, CapAdd and SecurityOpt
- Running in super privileged mode: what --privileged grants, device access and why to avoid it
Essential Level = Foundation + Host and runtime security controlsDay 2 · 2 days cumulative
- Kernel namespaces and security aspects: user namespace remapping, risks of --pid=host and --ipc=host
- Control groups and security aspects: limit resource utilization, manage memory and CPU usage with --memory, --cpus and --pids-limit
- Docker daemon attack surface: root daemon, docker.sock permissions, remote API exposure and TLS on port 2376
- Linux kernel capabilities and security: --cap-drop ALL, adding only what is needed, no-new-privileges
- Seccomp security profiles for Docker: the default profile, custom JSON profiles and --security-opt seccomp
- AppArmor security profiles for Docker: the docker-default profile and custom profiles loaded with apparmor_parser
- Other kernel security features: SELinux labels with :z and :Z, masked and read-only /proc paths
- Docker Content Trust signature verification: DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST=1, signing and pulling signed tags
- Docker Logging: logging drivers, log rotation and daemon events as an audit trail
- Docker Monitoring: docker stats and docker events, cAdvisor and Prometheus metrics to spot abnormal behaviour
- Container privileges: USER in images, --user at runtime and rootless Docker mode
- Restart policy: set an on-failure container restart policy with a maximum retry count
Intermediate Level = Essential + Application runtime, code security and image hardeningDay 3 · 3 days cumulative
- Threats during application runtime: shells in containers, cryptominers, privilege escalation and lateral movement
- Why Docker application runtime security matters: zero-days and misconfigurations that image scans cannot catch
- Tools for Docker application runtime: Sysdig Falco installation, default rules and writing custom Falco rules
- Runtime enforcement: SecComp, AppArmor and SELinux profiles generated from application behaviour
- What is code level security: why code level security matters and shifting checks left into container builds
- Tools for Docker code level security: SonarQube quality gates and Fortify static analysis
- Dockerfile security: non-root USER, pinned base images, no secrets in layers, COPY over ADD and HEALTHCHECK
- Docker image hardening standard: minimal or distroless bases, removing shells and package managers, multi-stage builds
- Use trusted images: Docker Official Images, Verified Publishers and approved private registries
- Auditing Docker images: docker history, Trivy or Docker Scout vulnerability scans and SBOM review
- Network exposure: do not expose unused ports, do not share the host network namespace, limit unbounded network access from containers
- Container access: do not run SSH within containers, use docker exec and centralised logs instead
- Read-only containers: mount the container root filesystem as read only with tmpfs for writable paths
- Use overlay networks: encrypted overlay networks to protect traffic between hosts
Advanced Level = Intermediate + Security toolchain, pipelines and governanceDays 4-5 · 5 days cumulative

Inspect container isolation on a host
Start containers with default and privileged settings, compare their namespaces, capabilities and security options, and record the differences.
Lock down a running container
Run a web container with dropped capabilities, a custom seccomp profile, AppArmor, resource limits and a non-root user, then prove each control works.
Harden an image and watch runtime
Rebuild an application image to a hardened, non-root, read-only standard, scan it, and trigger Falco alerts by spawning a shell inside the container.
Build a secure container pipeline
Create a pipeline that lints, scans, signs and pushes an image to a private registry, then deploys it with runtime monitoring and an incident drill.
