What is SBOM generation and when do I need it for software compliance?

SBOM generation creates a comprehensive list of software components and dependencies. You need it for compliance and security scanning to identify vulnerabilities and track component provenance across filesystems and repos.

Does Trivy work with CI/CD pipelines for vulnerability detection?

Yes, Trivy integrates with CI/CD pipelines to provide automated vulnerability detection and compliance evidence. It automates security scanning for containers and IaC, enforcing security gates before deployment.

How do I scan infrastructure as code for misconfigurations and secrets?

Scan infrastructure as code for misconfigurations and secrets by running automated Trivy security checks against your IaC files, ensuring security best practices are met before deployment.

What's the best way to continuously monitor repositories for vulnerabilities?

Continuously monitor repositories for vulnerabilities by integrating Trivy with an MCP server and CI/CD pipelines, providing automated security scanning and ongoing compliance checks for your repos.

Do I need Trivy installed to use this security scanning automation?

Yes, Trivy is a required dependency. You must have it installed in your environment to execute the automated vulnerability detection, SBOM generation, and compliance checks against your targets.
