About Service

Container & Infrastructure Scanning Overview

Containers and modern infrastructure tools make applications faster to build and deploy — but they also introduce new risks. A single outdated base image, misconfigured Kubernetes setting, or insecure infrastructure file can lead to a breach long before a system goes live.

Container & Infrastructure Scanning helps you detect these issues early. Instead of finding problems after deployment, you catch them during development. CyberXSoft helps teams scan images, review infrastructure templates, and monitor registries so unsafe components never make it into production.

Our goal is simple: give you visibility and confidence in every build.

What Our Container & Infrastructure Scanning Service Includes

Container Image Scanning

We scan container images for vulnerabilities, outdated packages, and unsafe configurations.
What’s included:

Base image risk review
Detection of outdated libraries
Scan of dependencies and packages
Image hardening recommendations

Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) Scanning

IaC templates can introduce large-scale misconfigurations if not checked.
What’s included:

Terraform, CloudFormation, and ARM template scanning
Identification of insecure defaults
Hard-coded credentials detection
Policy compliance checks

Registry & Artifact Monitoring

We help you monitor image registries to prevent unsafe or unapproved images from being used.
What’s included:

Registry scanning
Tag and version review
Alerts for newly discovered vulnerabilities
Tracking unauthorized image usage

Kubernetes & Container Platform Review

Containers depend on secure runtime environments.
What’s included:

Review of K8s configurations
Namespace and privilege checks
Exposure and port risk analysis
Storage and secret-management review

Automated CI/CD Integration

We add scanning tools directly into your pipelines.
What’s included:

Automatic scans during builds
Pipeline blocking for critical issues
Developer-friendly reports
Integration with existing workflows

Tools Commonly Used for Container & Infrastructure Scanning

Trivy
Aqua Security
Anchore
Snyk Container
Clair
Checkov (IaC scanning)
Kube-hunter
Terraform Validators

These tools help detect insecure images, misconfigurations, and risky infrastructure definitions.

Real Problems Companies Face with Containers & IaC

Outdated base images included in new builds
Hard-coded credentials in IaC templates
Images pulled from untrusted registries
Containers running with unnecessary privileges
Misconfigured Kubernetes clusters
No visibility into image updates or patches
Developers bypassing scanning due to time pressure
Lack of standard processes for image approval

These gaps often lead to supply-chain risks or insecure deployments.

Use Cases for Container & Infrastructure Scanning

Securing Microservices Environments

When applications rely on multiple containers, each image must be checked for safe deployment.

Cloud-Native Teams Using IaC

IaC files define entire cloud architectures; one mistake can expose critical systems.

CI/CD Pipelines with Rapid Deployments

Fast pipelines need automated checks to avoid shipping vulnerable images.

Kubernetes Adoption

Kubernetes needs strong baseline security to avoid misconfigurations that attackers can exploit.

Compliance Checks Before Release

Auditors increasingly ask for proof that images and IaC templates are scanned regularly.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should container images be scanned for vulnerabilities?

Images should be scanned every time they are built or updated, and rescanned when new vulnerabilities are published. Even stable applications need periodic checks because new risks can appear long after an image was deployed.

Can IaC scanning really prevent real-world cloud breaches?

Yes. Many cloud breaches happen because insecure settings were written into IaC templates and deployed automatically. Scanning helps catch these issues — such as open ports, weak access rules, or missing encryption — before they reach your cloud environment.

Is container scanning useful if we only use trusted base images?

Trusted images reduce risk, but they’re not foolproof. Maintainers update their images regularly, and vulnerabilities are discovered over time. Scanning ensures your version of the image remains safe and up to date.

Do developers need to change their workflow to support scanning?

Not much. Scanning tools integrate directly into CI/CD pipelines and repositories. Developers continue working as usual while receiving clear alerts when something needs fixing.

Can scanning detect hard-coded secrets inside infrastructure files?

Yes. Modern scanning tools identify passwords, API keys, tokens, and other credentials accidentally committed to templates. This helps prevent leaks and unauthorized access.

What happens if a vulnerability is found in an image already in production?

You receive a clear report outlining the risk, the affected version, and steps to fix it. Most issues can be resolved by updating packages, rebuilding the image, or switching to a safer base image.
