Vulnerability scanning for Docker images

Madhu Kumar - Jan 17 '22 - - Dev Community

In my previous blog Automate docker security audits with docker bench for security, we learned about how to automate Docker Security Audits with Docker Bench for Security.

But, remember that Docker Bench isn’t an exhaustive test. There are other aspects to maintaining Docker security that shouldn’t be overlooked either.

A compromised container could give attackers a foothold into your systems, even if you have strong host-level security. You can reduce this risk by using Docker Bench, alongside active container vulnerability scanners like Docker scan (snyk), Grype, Trivy and Clair. These will help you identify problems within your containers, such as outdated dependencies that could be exploited.

Vulnerability scanning for Docker local images using 'docker scan'

Image description

Vulnerability scanning for Docker local images allows developers and development teams to review the security state of the container images and take actions to fix issues identified during the scan, resulting in more secure deployments. Docker Scan runs on Snyk engine, providing users with visibility into the security posture of their local Dockerfiles and local images.

Conclusion

Hardening a Docker image involves scanning it for vulnerabilities, building a new image with additional mitigating protections, then using that version as the base for your application. You need to scan and rebuild your images regularly to make sure they include latest packages and patches. It’s a best practice to incorporate hardening into your image build pipeline.

Remember that container security best practices don’t just include the delivered applications and container images themselves. You also need to include the full component stack used for building, distributing, and specifically executing the container.

One of the key points of cloud-native security is addressing container security risks as soon as possible. Doing it later in the development life cycle slows down the pace of cloud adoption, while raising security and compliance risks.
