Container security startup Aqua Security Software Ltd. says its open-source tool for scanning container images is now integrated by default with registries from Docker Inc. and the Mirantis Docker Enterprise platform, as well as Harbor, an open-source image registry project run by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.
Aqua sells a Cloud Native Security Platform for software containers, which are used to host applications that can run on any computing platform. Its software gives developers the ability to automate and improve container security and compliance posture, monitor usage and control user access. It provides granular controls over container and serverless security, supports both Docker and Windows containers, and can be deployed on-premises.
The Trivy scanner is just one component of Aqua’s platform, and was first released as an open-source project late last year. It has already attracted a “broad following” on the GitHub code hosting repository, the company said. The rapid adoption of Trivy is due to its ability to handle both operating systems and their programming language dependencies, which makes it easier to integrate with existing software development pipelines.
