Automate Fargate image scanning

AWS Fargate, combined with Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS), offers a serverless compute engine that allows for the rapid deployment of containerized workloads without the need for infrastructure management. Despite its convenience, this approach can expose vulnerabilities if left unattended, potentially leading to security breaches and increased costs. Automating image scanning within the AWS environment can mitigate these risks by detecting vulnerabilities and misconfigurations before they impact production. Sysdig's inline image scanning solution for ECS Fargate, integrated via AWS CloudFormation, provides an efficient way to automate this process. This method involves leveraging AWS Lambda, Amazon EventBridge, and a CodeBuild pipeline, ensuring that container images are assessed against security policies without leaving the AWS infrastructure. This approach enables scalable security oversight, centralizing security reports and compliance status within the Sysdig platform, thereby enhancing the security posture of AWS container services without compromising flexibility.
