In this blog post, we are going to cover how to perform container image scanning for CircleCI using Sysdig Secure. Image scanning allows DevOps teams to detect and resolve issues, like known vulnerabilities and incorrect configurations, directly in their CI/CD pipelines. Using Sysdig Secure, you can enforce image policies to block vulnerabilities before they reach production environments and fix them faster while the developer still has the context.
We’ve been busy this New Year (a rather warm one in San Francisco) to bring you exciting new ways to secure your DevOps journey. Read on for the details and see how you can put them to use!
