Image Scanning with GitHub Actions

Eduardo Mínguez's blog post outlines the process of scanning container images for vulnerabilities using Sysdig Secure with GitHub Actions, emphasizing the importance of integrating security measures early in the CI/CD pipeline. The article provides a step-by-step guide for setting up an image scanning workflow, detailing the use of the sysdig-cli-scanner tool to identify known vulnerabilities and validate container configurations before deployment. It stresses the role of GitHub Actions in automating software development tasks and highlights the benefits of image scanning, such as faster issue detection and prevention of vulnerabilities in production. The post also touches on the customization of scanning policies and the use of caching to optimize workflow efficiency. Integration with Sysdig Secure allows for ongoing policy enforcement and reevaluation of vulnerabilities as new threats emerge, providing a robust framework for maintaining container security standards.
