US Patent 11068585 Filesystem action profiling of containers and security enforcement

A system and method for securing execution of software containers using security profiles. The method includes exporting a container image to a host device from a container image source, wherein the container image includes resources utilized to execute a corresponding application container; generating a security profile for the container image, wherein the generated security profile indicates at least a list of permissible filesystem actions, wherein each permissible filesystem action is an action performed with respect to at least one filesystem resource; monitoring an operation of a runtime execution of the application container; and detecting a violation of the security profile based on the monitored operation.
