Container/Artifact Analysis

Jan 1, 0001

Definition

Container/Artifact Analysis involves the examination of container images and software artifacts to identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and compliance issues. This process typically includes scanning for known vulnerabilities in software dependencies, checking for outdated packages, and ensuring that security best practices are followed in the configuration of the container or artifact. The goal is to ensure that the container or artifact is secure before deployment into production environments.
