Container & Image Scanning

Summary

Automatically scanning Docker images for known vulnerabilities in their base image and installed packages — catching a vulnerable dependency before it ships to production, not after.

How to Learn This

1Scan a Docker image with a free tool (like Trivy) and review the vulnerability findings.
2Add an image scanning step to a CI pipeline that fails the build on critical vulnerabilities.
3Learn why regularly rebuilding images (not just scanning once) matters as new vulnerabilities are discovered.
