Container vulnerability scanning

Identify more vulnerabilities and accelerate remediation.

Protect cloud-native workloads with continuous vulnerability scanning for container images.

What is container vulnerability scanning?

The purpose of a software container vulnerability scan is to harden container images by identifying malware, secrets, security risks, and vulnerabilities in the software components. This can happen in CI/CD pipelines, registries, and Kubernetes platforms.
