What Anchore Open Source Does

Anchore Engine allows developers to perform detailed analysis on container images, generating a software bill of materials. Through seamless integration with CI/CD systems, Anchore Engine can prevent publication of images containing known vulnerabilities.

Features

Anchore Engine is fully-featured and flexible, and can work within a wide variety of environments and development pipelines.

IMAGE ANALYSIS

Perform deep inspection of container images, cataloging all operating system packages, files and software artifacts such as Ruby GEMs, JARs, and Node modules.

POLICY MANAGEMENT

Define and apply policies based on security best practices and use them to prevent dangerous builds from completing and problematic images from being deployed.

CONTINUOUS MONITORING

Policies are continuously evaluated to catch issues created when images are updated, CVEs are added or removed, or new best practices are established.

CI/CD INTEGRATION

Integrate Anchore Engine into CI/CD pipelines to ensure that builds are only successful when images meet custom security and compliance requirements.

HIGHLY CUSTOMIZABLE

Define checks for vulnerabilities, package whitelists, blacklists, configuration files, secrets in image, manifest changes, exposed ports and more.

ORCHESTRATION

Use Anchore Engine analysis and policy checks to ensure that only certified and secure images are deployed in Kubernetes or other Orchestration Platforms.
