The problem with legacy container security

Containers power modern apps, but legacy scanning leaves teams blind to what’s inside, bogged down in complexity, and chasing noise. Critical risks slip through while time gets wasted.

Hidden risks

Web app vulnerabilities and open-source flaws often get buried within container images. Frequent updates and redeployments make it hard to know what’s exploitable.

Manual processes

Registries, Kubernetes clusters, and fast-changing deployments make container environments highly complex. Ad hoc scans and spreadsheet tracking can’t keep up.

No prioritization

Traditional container scanning produces static SCA lists. But without correlation to runtime exploitability and risk posture, teams waste cycles fixing low-priority issues.

eliminate blind spots

Complete container visibility

Invicti correlates container vulnerabilities with your entire AppSec program so you can focus on what matters most.

Registry and cluster scanning: Scan images in popular registries and live Kubernetes clusters.

Deep component analysis: Detect vulnerable components, misconfigurations, and exposed secrets.

SBOM generation: Generate and scan SBOMs to pinpoint which applications are impacted.

Continuous monitoring: Track new vulnerabilities as containers are updated.

automate at scale

Simplified scanning

Invicti streamlines container testing so you can cover dynamic environments without slowing development.

Integrated workflows: Connect directly with registries and Kubernetes clusters for seamless scans.

Multi-scanner orchestration: Run commercial and open-source container scanners through the Invicti platform.

Automated enforcement: Apply build thresholds and security gates in CI/CD pipelines.

Enterprise scalability: Horizontally scale to handle containerized workloads of any size.

Unified risk posture for containers

Invicti correlates container vulnerabilities with your entire AppSec program so you can focus on what matters most.

Noise-free results: Deduplicate and normalize findings across SCA, container, and infra scans.

Runtime correlation: Link container issues with exploitability data from DAST and IAST.

Threat-aware prioritization: Enrich severity scores with external threat intelligence.

Developer-first remediation: Route prioritized issues directly into Jira, GitHub, or Slack for faster fixes.

Whats customers say

‍

“For more websites, we now don’t need to go externally for security testing. We can fire up Invicti, run the tests as often as we like, view the scan results, and mitigate to our hearts’ content. As a result, the budget we were spending every year on penetration testing decreased by approximately 60% almost immediately and went down even more the following year, to about 20% of our initial spending.”

- Brian Brackenborough | CISO, Channel 4

“Invicti detected web vulnerabilities that other solutions did not. It is easy to use and set up...”

- Henk-Jan Angerman | Founder, SECWATCH

“I had the opportunity to compare expertise reports with Invicti ones. Invicti was better, finding more breaches.”

- Andy Gambles | Senior Analyst, OECD

“Invicti is the best web application security scanner in terms of price-benefit balance. It is a very stable software, faster than the previous tool we were using and it is relatively free of false positives, which is exactly what we were looking for.”

- Harald Nandke | Principal Consultant, Unify (now Mitel)

Frequently asked container security questions

Can container security scans be automated in CI/CD pipelines?

Yes. Invicti can integrate container security scanning into CI/CD workflows so images are checked automatically as part of the software delivery process. Teams can apply configurable policies and security gates, including thresholds that can prevent builds from progressing when defined risk criteria are met. Findings can also be routed into existing developer and remediation workflows.

What does Invicti scan for in container images?

Invicti helps identify vulnerable open-source components, security misconfigurations, exposed secrets, and other risks in container images. Container findings can be normalized and correlated with findings from other application security testing methods, helping teams understand container risk in the context of the applications they support.

How does container scanning work with DAST?

Container scanning and DAST examine different layers of application risk. Container scanning identifies risks within container images and their components, while DAST tests running applications and APIs for vulnerabilities that are observable and exploitable at runtime. Invicti brings these findings together to provide additional context for prioritization and remediation.

Can Invicti generate SBOMs for containers?

Yes. Invicti supports generating and scanning container SBOMs in standard formats including CycloneDX and SPDX. SBOMs provide an inventory of software components that can help teams identify affected applications, monitor newly disclosed component vulnerabilities, support software supply chain security, and meet governance and compliance requirements.

Does Invicti support container scanning through APIs and automation?

Yes. Invicti provides API access and integrations that can be used to automate container security workflows. Teams can incorporate scanning into existing development and security processes and route findings to tools such as Jira, GitHub, Slack, and other supported integrations.

Can Invicti support recurring container security scanning?

Yes. Container security scanning can be automated and repeated as images and applications change, helping teams keep pace with frequent builds and deployments. Findings can be centralized, normalized, and prioritized alongside other AppSec results to provide an up-to-date view of application risk.

Can Invicti identify open-source license risks in containers?

Yes. Invicti can identify license information and potential license risks associated with open-source components found in container images, helping teams support software governance and compliance processes.

Does Invicti support Kubernetes environments?

Yes. Invicti supports scanning container images through registries and Kubernetes clusters. Container findings can then be correlated with application security findings and runtime evidence from other Invicti testing capabilities to help teams prioritize risk across containerized applications.
