Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for container security using a hopping mechanism. Methods include the steps of selecting a first virtual container associated with one or more software processes; replicating the first virtual container to create a plurality of replicated virtual containers, each of the plurality of replicated virtual containers a duplicate of the first virtual container, and the plurality of replicated virtual containers configured to run synchronously; generating a randomized hopping set that defines a set of replicated virtual containers from the plurality of replicated virtual containers, the randomized hopping set establishing a sequence of the set of replicated virtual containers in which to run the one or more software processes; and running the one or more software processes across the set of replicated virtual containers based on the sequence of the randomized hopping set.
