Abstract
A system and method for securing execution of software containers using security profiles. The method includes receiving an event indicating that a container image requires profiling, wherein the container image includes resources utilized to execute a corresponding application container; generating a security profile for the container image when the event is received, wherein the generated security profile indicates at least networking ports that are allowed for at least one of: access to the application container, and access by the application container; monitoring an operation of a runtime execution of the application container; and detecting a violation of the security profile based on the monitored operation.
