In addition, NeuVector Prime 5.4 strengthens container security with comprehensive threat detection and prevention features, as well as real time compliance reports.

With the new release, Rancher Prime strengthens its position as a trusted platform for DevOps teams and developers, providing a comprehensive suite of tools for managing containerized workloads.
