Key practices include pinning container images by SHA256 digest, generating SBOMs at every build, enforcing SLSA Build Level 3 provenance attestations, hardening CI/CD pipelines with ephemeral environments and scoped secrets, integrating vulnerability scanning into developer workflows, and implementing runtime behavioral monitoring. The guide references Docker Hardened Images and Docker Scout as tooling to support these practices, and cites 2025 data showing 99% of open source malware on npm and a doubling of third-party breach involvement. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
