# Finding Imposter Among Us: Container Edition

Once upon a time, in a distant galaxy, there was a bustling space station where crew members worked diligently on their assigned tasks. This space station was a critical hub for intergalactic trade, and its smooth operations were vital for the prosperity of the entire galaxy.

However, there was a hidden danger lurking within the station. Just like in the popular game Among Us, imposters disguised as crew members had infiltrated the space station. These imposters had malicious intent and were determined to sabotage the station's operations. They could sneak into any area, bypass security measures, and wreak havoc on the infrastructure.

To combat this threat, the crew members realized they needed to adopt a security approach inspired by the concept of Zero Trust. They understood that trusting blindly in the identity of their colleagues, just like assuming every crew member was genuine, was no longer sufficient.

In the game Among Us, crew members rely on their keen observation skills to identify and eliminate imposters. Similarly, the crew members on the space station began applying Zero Trust principles to identify and contain potential threats within their containerized workloads.

They realized that securing the supply chain alone wasn't enough. Even if the crew members were initially verified and trusted, there was still a possibility that threats could emerge during runtime. It was not a question of if, but when the imposters would strike.

The understanding that containers were not impenetrable fortresses, the crew members embraced the power of Runtime Security. They continuously monitored and evaluated the activities within the containers, just as they would scrutinize the actions of their fellow crew members in the game.

To achieve this, the crew members utilized advanced profiling techniques. They carefully analyzed the entities within the containers, looking for any signs of suspicious activity. This profiling helped them identify exposed assets and potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited by imposters.

Armed with this knowledge, the crew members enlisted the help of eBPF and LSMs. These security mechanisms acted as their trusted crew members, assisting in identifying and quarantining breaches at runtime. Just as crew members in Among Us would use emergency meetings and voting systems to isolate and eject imposters, the crew members leveraged these tools to isolate and neutralize threats within their containerized environments.

By implementing these Zero Trust security practices, the crew members minimized the attack surface and mitigated potential damages caused by the imposters. They knew that achieving zero trust was no easy task, given the highly dynamic nature of their containerized workloads. However, their determination and vigilance paid off, ensuring the security and smooth functioning of the space station.

In the end, the crew members triumphed over the imposters and restored peace and prosperity to their galaxy. Inspired by the game Among Us, they had learned the importance of Zero Trust security for containers, where no entity could be blindly trusted, and every action had to be carefully examined.

And so, their story spread across the galaxies, serving as a testament to the power of Zero Trust security and the vigilance required to identify the imposters among us—whether in a game or in the realm of containerized workloads.
