As businesses increasingly adopt containerisation for their applications, platforms like Azure Container Apps (ACA) and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) have become integral to managing and scaling workloads. While these technologies offer unparalleled flexibility and efficiency, they also introduce unique security instances that must be addressed to protect sensitive data and ensure compliance.

In the context of containerised applications, a security audit examines everything from the underlying infrastructure to the specific configurations of your containers. Here’s why a thorough security audit is crucial:
