Elastic Container Registry Security Essentials

If you don’t know what you’re doing, Amazon’s Elastic Container Registry (ECR) can end up just becoming one more weak link in an already compromised software supply chain.

This ECR Security Essentials course by AppSecEngineer exists to make your journey into AWS cloud that much easier. Learn how to use all the tools at your disposal to configure, scan, and secure your container registries against outside threats.

Course Overview

8 Hours
32 Lessons
14 Cloud Labs
Ideal for: Security Engineer  /  Product Security Teams

Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) is a cornerstone service that allows you to completely manage container images within AWS. But Container Registries also happen to be a major threat vector that attackers can exploit. By gaining access to your container registry, attackers can launch widespread supply-chain attacks against your infrastructure and compromise your container images.

This course is a deep-dive into specific security features of ECR that help you prevent, detect, and correct security weaknesses in your container images within AWS. We start off with an overview of Container Registry and various features of Amazon ECR. We explore AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) and how it fits in with the functions of ECR. Next, we use hands-on labs to learn how to scan container images for vulnerabilities and pinpoint security flaws. We also look at tag immutability for ECR.

For our final lesson, we’ll be learning to monitor security events. Get some hands-on practice setting up and using Cloudtrail-Athena for security monitoring for Amazon ECR.

“Threat modeling is seriously underrated compared to other security activities that have more visible impact. Fact of the matter is, if you can anticipate and build around potential threats to your software, that’s going to make a much bigger difference than if you set up a million defenses after the fact. These courses taught me how to do that!”
