Snyk Container

Dev-first container security made simple

Container and Kubernetes security that helps developers and DevOps find, prioritize, and fix vulnerabilities throughout the SDLC — before workloads hit production.

On-demand Snyk demo

Watch our recorded demo to see how teams can find and fix vulnerabilities across code, dependencies, container images, and IaC.

Find and automatically fix container and workload vulns

Snyk’s developer-first approach has removed the barrier to entry for container security — helping teams find and fix tens of millions of vulnerabilities.

Automate remediation

Get developer-ready base image recommendations and automatically upgrade to resolve vulnerabilities.

Flexible image workflows

Actionable remediation advice that fits your org's DevOps processes to include custom, curated container images.

Monitor with context

Continuously monitor for vulnerabilities and prioritize their remediation based on context and exploitability.

Secure dependencies

Find and fix vulnerabilities in open source dependencies used in base images and Dockerfile commands.

Let developers quickly fix container vulnerabilities before they hit prod

Remediation guidance

Snyk Container lets developers know the risks in each image, and provides one-click upgrades and alternative image recommendations.

Prioritize to reduce noise

Priority scoring lets you focus attention on the most critical issues based on risk signals like exploit maturity and insecure workload configs.

Apps & containers in one view

Scan your containers and the open source dependencies in those containers all at once from a unified developer security platform.

Designed for developers

Snyk Container gets developers straight to the vulnerable Dockerfile commands and dependencies — no security expertise required.

Fix vulnerabilities in containers and K8s workloads throughout the SDLC

Integrated IDE checks

Detect vulnerabilities in base image dependencies, Dockerfile commands, and  Kubernetes workloads while coding to fix issues early and save development time.

Native Git scanning and monitoring

Scan PRs before merging and test projects directly from their repository. Enable daily monitoring to find and fix vulnerabilities faster.

Secure from pipeline to production

Automatically scan for vulnerabilities within the CI/CD during build and test your running environments to keep new vulnerabilities out. 

Prioritize top container risks

Leverage broad application context to prioritize deployed or publicly exposed issues posing a greater level of risk to your organization.

Monitor continuously to protect after deployment

Automatically scan for new vulns

Monitor your images for newly discovered vulnerabilities and base image updates and receive alerts via Slack, Jira, email, or custom integration.

Monitor containers running in K8s

Detect newly deployed and updated workloads in Kubernetes clusters and uncover potentially unsafe settings in Kubernetes workloads.

Reporting and prioritization

Understand the security posture of your apps in one place and monitor issues with an auditable inventory of dependencies with context-aware prioritization.

  • Alpine Linux

  • Debian

  • Ubuntu

  • CentOS

  • Oracle Linux

“I was really happy to have containers scanning before runtime production. People weren’t paying attention to the vulnerabilities in containers, so it has been eye opening for the organization. It truly increases awareness of those vulnerabilities and enables more automation. It’s more in line with that quality improvement mindset that the engineering teams have in their CI/CD practices.”

Secure your software supply chain

Snyk Container is part of our software supply chain security solution. Secure critical components of your software supply chain, including first-party code, open source libraries, and container images right from the tools your developers use every day.

Code security

Secure your first-party code with self-service security, without leaving your daily workflow.

IaC security

Secure your infrastructure as code before you deploy and detect drift as it occurs.

Container security

Scan your base images and K8s manifests before you deploy. Stay secure at runtime with Sysdig.

Software transparency

Snyk enables software transparency, providing both export and evaluation of software bills of materials (SBOMs).
