Compliance

While compliance for container platforms is achievable with third-party products such as Sysdig Secure, Twistlock, and AquaSec, Docker Enterprise 2.1 adds FIPS compliance support for Windows and RHEL platforms. This means the Docker platform is validated against widely accepted standards and best practices during Docker Enterprise product development. With this, the companies and agencies get additional confidence to adopt Docker containers. Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 140-2 being the most remarkable standards, verifies and permits the use of various security encryption modules within an organization software stack which now includes the Docker Enterprise Engine.
