What if checking your project for vulnerabilities was as simple as asking a question? Or if your coding AI agent could automatically run a scan every time you changed a Dockerfile? The new Trivy MCP Server makes all that possible, and more.

In modern development workflows, integrating security seamlessly into the development process is crucial for delivering secure applications efficiently. Developers need security tools that work naturally within their development environment, providing immediate feedback without disrupting their workflow. The new Trivy extension for Visual Studio Code addresses this need by directly bringing comprehensive security scanning capabilities into …

This is a guest post by Echo Imagine starting every project with CVE-free base images, without adding any extra effort or tooling to your workflow. As developers and security teams, we know how hard it is to shift left when the base you’re building on is already vulnerable. That’s why we’re excited to be a …

VEX (Vulnerability eXploitability Exchange) is an emerging industry standard for communicating the relevance and impact of security vulnerabilities on software artifacts. This approach allows software maintainers to indicate when a specific vulnerability in a software dependency is irrelevant to their software due to the specific use case of that dependency. By conveying this crucial information …

In this blog, we introduce TrailShark, a plugin that connects Wireshark with AWS CloudTrail logs. This open-source tool was developed as part of the “Bucket Monopoly” research, during which we identified six vulnerabilities in AWS by tracking service interactions and internal API calls. These vulnerabilities range from remote code execution (RCE) and full-service user takeover …

Aqua Tracee is an open source runtime security and forensics tool for Linux, built to address common Linux security issues. Tracee’s main use case is to be installed in a production environment and continuously monitor system activity and detect suspicious behavior. Some alternative use cases which Tracee can be used for are dynamic malware analysis, …

eBPF is a popular and powerful technology embedded in the Linux kernel. It is widely used by many security tools for monitoring kernel activity to detect and protect organizations. eBPF, however, can potentially be a dual edged sword as it can be used by threat actors as part of their malicious arsenal. Lately, we have …

CIS (Center for Internet Security) compliance scanning is a standard in Kubernetes (K8s) security and is widely adopted across the industry with implementations in several security scanners. Kube-bench, an open source project developed by Aqua Security was one of the first projects to provide Kubernetes CIS compliance scanning and became a staple in K8s security. …

While more and more companies are moving to a cloud native technologies to manage their workloads and infrastructure, Virtual Machines (VMs) remain a staple infrastructure that powers many existing organizations and applications. Trivy, the all-in-one open-source security scanner, already scans most of the cloud native stack including containers, clusters, and clouds. Today, we are announcing …

Trivy, the all-in-one security scanner, is now able to scan binary files in your scan targets such as container images. Most security scanners rely on package managers to discover vulnerabilities. Trivy now uses Rekor from Sigstore to look up the hash of a binary file. If a relevant SBOM is found through the hash, Trivy …

Over the past few months Aqua Trivy, the all-in-one cloud native security scanner, has rapidly grown in features and tapped into new use cases. In this blog post, we will explore

Application security teams are challenged today with the need for a centralized view of exposure to security issues like Log4j and Spring4Shell. But an exploding set of artifacts and security tools makes it prohibitively difficult to secure the development life cycle. A universal scanner drastically reduces this management overhead and gets you started quickly.
