List of vulnerable container image names

Overview

The List of Vulnerable Container Image Names provides a detailed list of container images within your environment that are identified as vulnerable. This widget is vital for both IT Operations (IT Ops) and Security Operations (Sec Ops) engineers to quickly assess and address security risks in containerized applications.

Value for IT and Security Engineers

Security Perspective

• Vulnerability Identification: This list highlights containers with known vulnerabilities, enabling Sec Ops engineers to rapidly prioritize remediation efforts for images that could potentially be exploited.

• Risk Mitigation: By focusing on these vulnerable container images, teams can patch vulnerabilities or replace insecure images, reducing the attack surface.

• Proactive Threat Management: Tracking vulnerable container images allows Sec Ops to apply security patches before attackers can exploit weaknesses, thus preventing security breaches.

Operational Perspective

• Efficiency in Risk Remediation: IT Ops engineers can quickly identify which container images need immediate updates or replacement, ensuring that they maintain a secure and compliant infrastructure.

• Automation and Monitoring: The widget can be integrated into automated workflows, such as continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, to ensure that only secure container images are deployed into production environments.

• Impact Analysis: The list allows IT Ops to understand the broader impact of using vulnerable containers, enabling better risk assessment and informed decision-making about remediation.

Use Case Scenarios

• Patch Management: Use the list to track vulnerable images and ensure that patches or updated images are deployed across environments, improving the overall security posture.

• Compliance Audits: During audits, Sec Ops can demonstrate the identification and remediation of vulnerable images, helping to ensure adherence to security standards and regulations.

• Incident Response: In the event of a security breach, this list can help quickly identify the affected container images and guide incident response efforts to isolate and mitigate the attack.

By providing an up-to-date list of vulnerable container images, this widget allows Sec Ops and IT Ops teams to take swift action to reduce risk, enhance security, and ensure operational efficiency.
