Abstract
Disclosed are various examples for web application security through containerization. In one example, a web application is executed within a container application. The container application includes a management software development kit (SDK). A security policy for the web application is retrieved from a management service. The security policy is applied to the web application using the management SDK of the container application.

A system for web application security through containerization, the system comprising:
- a client device;
- and
- a container application executable in the client device, wherein the container application, when executed, causes the client device to:
- execute a web application within the container application, the container application comprising a management software development kit (SDK) associated with a management service;
- retrieve, from the management service, a security policy for the web application;
- and
- apply the security policy to the web application using a function defined by the management SDK of the container application.
A method for web application security through containerization, the method comprising:
- executing a web application within a container application, the container application comprising a management software development kit (SDK) associated with a management service;
- retrieving, from the management service, a security policy for the web application;
- and
- applying the security policy to the web application using a function defined by the management SDK of the container application.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying a container application executable in a client device, wherein the container application, when executed, causes the client device to:
- execute a web application within the container application, the container application comprising a management software development kit (SDK) associated with a management service;
- retrieve, from the management service, a security policy for the web application;
- and
- apply the security policy to the web application using a function defined by the management SDK of the container application.
