Aqua Security released an open source tool this week for scanning image registries running on Docker and the enterprise version of Mirantis Docker. The security tool also targets Harbor, an open source container image registry project spearheaded by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF).
The Boston-based infrastructure security specialist said Monday (March 16) its Trivy scanner released last year has so far attracted what it called a “broad following” on the GitHub collaboration web site. The vendor attributes Trivy’s rapid adoption to its ability to handle both operating system and programming language dependencies. That flexibility is billed as making it easier to integration the scanner into existing software development pipelines.
