Blog post from Sysdig
As container adoption on AWS grows, ensuring robust security and compliance becomes crucial, with AWS Elastic Container Registry (ECR) scanning serving as a vital initial step. Sysdig Secure enhances ECR's default scanning by offering advanced capabilities, including detecting non-OS vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and compliance checks across various frameworks like NIST 800-190 and HIPAA. By integrating seamlessly with AWS services, Sysdig Secure provides a streamlined workflow for vulnerability detection, allowing development teams to prevent vulnerable images from progressing through CI/CD pipelines. It supports both manual and automated scanning processes, enabling application security teams to manage vulnerabilities effectively through detailed reporting and alerting systems. These systems allow for real-time notifications of new vulnerabilities and offer insights into historical scan results, empowering teams to maintain high security and compliance standards. Sysdig Secure's integration with AWS ECR facilitates ease of use and rapid deployment, enhancing the security posture of cloud-native workloads.
