Description

As well as auditing the normal Linux file system and system calls, you should also audit the Docker daemon. Because this daemon runs with root privileges. It is very important to audit its activities and usage.

  • Recommended Mitigation

    You should add rules for the Docker daemon. For example: Add the line '-w /usr/bin/dockerd -k docker' to the /etc/audit/audit.rules file. Then, restart the audit daemon using the following command: systemctl restart auditd
