SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Cloud-native security scanning across containers, infrastructure-as-code (IaC), and Kubernetes to detect vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, secrets, and license issues before deploys.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • CVE and vulnerability detection for OS packages, language dependencies, and image layers
  • IaC misconfiguration checks for Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes manifests, Helm charts, and Dockerfiles
  • Secrets and license compliance scanning across codebases and configs
  • SBOM generation and multi-target scans to support DevSecOps pipelines

Quick Start

Install and run Trivy to scan images, filesystems, Git repositories, and Kubernetes manifests for security issues.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scan Kubernetes manifests and Dockerfiles for misconfigurations?▼

Vulnerability and CVE detection scans OS packages, language dependencies, and container image layers to identify known security issues. This prevents deploying images with vulnerable software components in cloud-native environments.

Can I generate SBOM and output security scan results in SARIF or SPDX format?▼

Yes, security scans support SBOM generation and output results in JSON, SARIF, and SPDX formats. This enables seamless CI/CD integration by providing standardized vulnerability, misconfiguration, and license reports.

How do I detect hardcoded secrets and license compliance issues in my codebase?▼

Secret and license scanning analyzes codebases and configurations to detect exposed credentials and license compliance issues. This prevents accidental secret leaks and ensures legal compliance across cloud-native artifacts.

Does Trivy work for scanning remote Git repositories and Kubernetes clusters?▼

Yes, Trivy supports multiple scan targets including remote Git repositories and Kubernetes clusters. This allows comprehensive security analysis of vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and secrets across diverse cloud-native environments.

What is the best way to automate pre-deployment security gates for container images?▼

Automate pre-deployment security gates by integrating CLI-based scans into your CI/CD pipelines to check container images, IaC, and filesystems. This blocks risky code deployment by identifying vulnerabilities, secrets, and misconfigurations.
