No violationsstackroxhighruntime

Detects execution of binaries that can be used to manipulate network configuration and management.

Rationale: Network management tools can be used for a variety of tasks, including mapping out your network, overwriting iptables rules, or ssh tunneling to name a few.
Remediation: Remove unncessary network managment tools from the container image.
