Container Security Scan

Container Security Scan is an open-source vulnerability scanner designed for containers and containerized applications. Container Security Scan focuses on identifying security vulnerabilities in container images. It is a lightweight and easy-to-use tool that integrates into the development and deployment pipeline.

Usage of Container Security Scan in Delivery Shield

  • Delivery Shield mandates security scans on images using Container Security Scan. It connects with Container Security Scan to see if the required version of the image has been scanned and if not done, Delivery Shield generates a security issue. It also triggers periodic vulnerability scans on the deployed images.

  • Once the Package Vulnerability Scan is done, Delivery Shield pulls container security scan results from Package Vulnerability Scan, and this data is used to calculate the overall security status of the images and application, to generate alerts and remediation.

  • Delivery Shield also pulls other scan results such as IAC configuration scan and secret scan and uses it to calculate the overall risk of the application. The scanned results are available in the Vulnerability Management page, Artifact section of the DBOM page, and the View Open Security Issues page.

  • SSD imports SBOMs generated by Container Security Scan and analyzes it to identify the supply chain security issues.

[info] Container Security Scan is integrated as part of Delivery Shield. You need to just enable or disable it when required.

To Manage Container Security Scan:

  1. Navigate to Setup > Integrations.

  1. In the Artifact panel, click Container Security Scan. The Container Security Scan integration page is displayed.

  2. Click +New Account.

  1. In the popup that appears:

  2. Enable the Vulnerability Scan, License Scan for Source, License Scan for Containers, Secret Scan for Containers, Secret Scan for Source Code and Helm Scan toggle button as required.

  1. Select the Teams and the corresponding Environments from the dropdown for which you want the integration to be available. The integration will be available for the selected teams and environment only. You can select up to 5 teams for the integration to be displayed.

  • An example is given below for reference:

  • In the example above,

  • if Team 1, Team 2, and Team 3 are selected, only applications associated with these teams can access the integration. Any applications belonging to other teams, such as Team 4, will not have access to this account.

  • Even if the user who created this account is also an admin for Team 4, the integration account remains restricted and is not available for Team 4.

  • Access to the account is strictly limited to the specified Teams and Environments selected during account creation.

  • For Organization Admins:

    • When an Organization Admin creates an account without selecting specific Teams and Environments, the account will be universally applicable, granting access to all teams and all environments by default.

  • For Team Admins with Multiple Teams:

    • If a Team Admin who manages multiple teams creates an account without specifying particular Teams and Environments, the account will only be accessible to the teams for which the logged-in user holds admin privileges.

  1. Click Save. The tool is connected.
