SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates the security scanning of container images to identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and policy gaps that can affect build pipelines and deployments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Integrates leading scanners (Trivy, Grype, Clair, Snyk Container, Docker Scout) to surface vulnerabilities in base images and packages.
  • Supports CI/CD gatekeeping, compliance checks, and hardening practices for container deployments.
  • Suitable for image creation, registry scanning, and post-build remediation workflows.

Quick Start

Scan a container image for vulnerabilities using Trivy and Grype to generate a vulnerability report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate container image vulnerability scanning in my CI/CD pipeline?

You can automate container image vulnerability scanning by integrating scanners like Trivy, Grype, or Docker Scout directly into your CI/CD pipelines to gate deployments and validate compliance during the image build process.

What is the best way to scan a Docker image for security misconfigurations?

Scanning for security misconfigurations is best handled by applying tools like Trivy or Snyk Container against your images and filesystems to surface base image issues and enforce hardening practices before deployment.

Does this support Clair and Grype workflows for registry scanning?

Yes, registry scanning workflows are fully supported, alongside Trivy, Grype, Clair, Snyk Container, and Docker Scout, allowing you to identify vulnerabilities and validate compliance during post-build and registry stages.

Can I use multiple container scanners like Trivy and Grype together?

Yes, you can use Trivy and Grype together to generate comprehensive vulnerability reports, leveraging multiple scanners to cross-check base images and packages for better security coverage.

How do I harden base images and fix container vulnerabilities fast?

To harden base images and fix container vulnerabilities fast, apply automated scanning and remediation workflows during image creation to identify package flaws and validate security policies before deployment.

When do I need to run filesystem scans versus image scans for compliance?

Filesystem scans are needed to check source code and configurations pre-build, while image scans validate the compiled container post-build, ensuring end-to-end compliance and vulnerability detection across both environments.
