The Cloud Native Computing Foundation, a prominent industry body backed by a who’s who of technology firms, is joining the cybersecurity fray.

The group this morning announced that it has taken charge of two open-source projects designed to help developers better protect their applications against hackers. The projects join a dozen technologies already under the CNCF’s wing, including Kubernetes and several of the other systems that underpin the software container movement. The group maintains these projects with the aim of giving companies the means to build application environments that can better meet their operational demands. .
