Sysdig extends image scanning to Google Cloud's Artifact Registry

Sysdig extends its image scanning capabilities to Google Cloud's Artifact Registry, a tool that provides a centralized solution for storing, managing, and securing container images and other artifacts. Artifact Registry, which evolved from Google Container Registry, integrates with Google Cloud's CI/CD platform and other security tools, offering features like regional repositories and granular access controls. Sysdig's Secure image scanning helps DevOps teams identify vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in container images, both in the CI/CD pipeline and in production, using a combination of backend and inline scanning approaches. This integration enhances security by allowing scanning without leaving Google's infrastructure, thus maintaining privacy and preventing credential leaks. Sysdig also supports mapping vulnerabilities to specific applications and services using Kubernetes metadata, enabling quick identification and resolution of issues. The platform provides comprehensive reports that help teams prioritize security efforts and comply with standards like PCI DSS and NIST 800-190. Overall, the collaboration between Sysdig and Google Cloud aims to enhance the security and efficiency of software delivery processes for cloud-native applications.
