Good presentation. One thing I'd mention is that they talk about the CIS security guide, but it's currently pretty out of date as it covers 1.6 and therefore misses a lot of Docker features like Content Trust, User Namespaces and Seccomp-BPF.

In general I'd say that Docker security is getting better, although I'm really looking forward to getting a better authentication/authorisation model on the docker engine as right now it's all or nothing, which is a pretty blunt instrument. Also this model causes problems when people do things like mount docker.sock inside a container for introspection as anyone compromising that container can take over the host. A better authorisation model would allow safer introspection...

Also worth noting as it's not in the presentation, one of the key Docker security features, User Namespaces, is not switched on by default, so you need to enable it on the daemon.
