The promise (and depending on your context and regulations, this might be true already as well) is that you can offer faster deployment of application(s). For instance, without containers development teams might need to deploy to a non-production environment that is "shared" for all teams, requiring rigid change management processes to make sure projects don't step on other projects' toes. With containers, development teams deploy their containers on a non-production docker cluster without impact to other development teams. Security requirements here are a bit less than in production (due to the non-production environment). When changes are matured, then change management can bring this to the (non-Docker) production environment. There are also of course possibilities to use containers in production, but then the security management needs to be taken into account again (which is definitely doable, just requires some "different" thinking).
