Container supply chain security

Container supply chain security

- [Narrator] Container supply chain security addresses one of the most critical attack vectors in modern microservices architectures. Threats that originate not from runtime attacks, but from compromised or vulnerable components in your software development and deployment pipelines. Container supply chain security is fundamentally about answering four critical questions. How do we know our container images are free from known vulnerabilities? How do we ensure we are only using approved and secure base images? How do we verify that images have not been tempered with between build and deployments? And how do we integrate these controls into our existing security operations without creating separate disconnected workflows? Container image scanning forms the foundation of supply chain security by identifying vulnerabilities and misconfigurations before images reach production environments. Modern scanning tools analyze…
