Image scanning for GitLab CI/CD

Eduardo Mínguez's blog post details how to integrate Sysdig Secure's image scanning capabilities into GitLab CI/CD pipelines to identify vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in container images before they reach production. By leveraging the sysdig-cli-scanner tool, users can perform local scans within the CI/CD pipeline, ensuring that only secure images are pushed to the registry. The process involves stages for building, scanning, and pushing images, with the scanning step halting the pipeline if any critical vulnerabilities are detected. This implementation shifts security left by embedding it early in the development process, thus preventing the exposure of sensitive data and improving compliance with container security standards. Additionally, the post highlights the benefits of Sysdig's approach, including customizable policies and the ability to keep images within the build environment during scans.
