Docker Image Scanning Alternatives
Trivy is used to find vulnerabilities (CVE) and misconfigurations in IaC configurations, binary artifacts, container images, Kubernetes clusters, and more. We used it in the context of Docker images because our focus has been on scanning images for vulnerabilities. There are other tools that can be used for similar purposes. The following table provides a non-exhaustive list of some of these tools and their features:
| Tool | Description | License | Integration Capabilities | Additional Features |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Clair | An open-source project for static analysis of vulnerabilities in container images. | Open-source | API-driven, integrates with CI/CD pipelines | Focuses on static analysis; integrates with various platforms. |
| Grype | An open-source vulnerability scanner for container images and filesystems. | Open-source | CLI tool, integrates with CI/CD pipelines | Emphasizes accuracy and minimizing false positives; successor to Anchore Engine. |
| Anchore | A platform that provides deep image inspection and vulnerability scanning for container images. | Open-source | API and CLI tools, integrates with CI/CD pipelines |
