The problem with legacy container security

Containers power modern apps, but legacy scanning leaves teams blind to what’s inside, bogged down in complexity, and chasing noise. Critical risks slip through while time gets wasted.

Hidden risks

Web app vulnerabilities and open-source flaws often get buried within container images. Frequent updates and redeployments make it hard to know what’s exploitable.

Manual processes

Registries, Kubernetes clusters, and fast-changing deployments make container environments highly complex. Ad hoc scans and spreadsheet tracking can’t keep up.

No prioritization

Traditional container scanning produces static SCA lists. But without correlation to runtime exploitability and risk posture, teams waste cycles fixing low-priority issues.

eliminate blind spots

Complete container visibility

Invicti correlates container vulnerabilities with your entire AppSec program so you can focus on what matters most.

Registry and cluster scanning: Scan images in popular registries and live Kubernetes clusters.

Deep component analysis: Detect vulnerable components, misconfigurations, and exposed secrets.

SBOM generation: Generate and scan SBOMs to pinpoint which applications are impacted.

Continuous monitoring: Track new vulnerabilities as containers are updated.

automate at scale

Simplified scanning

Invicti streamlines container testing so you can cover dynamic environments without slowing development.

Integrated workflows: Connect directly with registries and Kubernetes clusters for seamless scans.

Multi-scanner orchestration: Run commercial and open-source container scanners through the Invicti platform.

Automated enforcement: Apply build thresholds and security gates in CI/CD pipelines.

Enterprise scalability: Horizontally scale to handle containerized workloads of any size.

Unified risk posture for containers

Invicti correlates container vulnerabilities with your entire AppSec program so you can focus on what matters most.

Noise-free results: Deduplicate and normalize findings across SCA, container, and infra scans.

Runtime correlation: Link container issues with exploitability data from DAST and IAST.

Threat-aware prioritization: Enrich severity scores with external threat intelligence.

Developer-first remediation: Route prioritized issues directly into Jira, GitHub, or Slack for faster fixes.

Testimonial

‍

“For more websites, we now don’t need to go externally for security testing. We can fire up Invicti, run the tests as often as we like, view the scan results, and mitigate to our hearts’ content. As a result, the budget we were spending every year on penetration testing decreased by approximately 60% almost immediately and went down even more the following year, to about 20% of our initial spending.”

“Invicti detected web vulnerabilities that other solutions did not. It is easy to use and set up...”

- Henk-Jan Angerman | Founder, SECWATCH
Testimonial

“I had the opportunity to compare expertise reports with Invicti ones. Invicti was better, finding more breaches.”

- Andy Gambles | Senior Analyst, OECD
Testimonial

“Invicti is the best web application security scanner in terms of price-benefit balance. It is a very stable software, faster than the previous tool we were using and it is relatively free of false positives, which is exactly what we were looking for.”

- Harald Nandke | Principal Consultant, Unify (now Mitel)

Frequently asked container security questions

Can container security scans be automated in CI/CD pipelines?

Yes. Invicti container security (powered by Mend) integrates directly into CI/CD pipelines such as Jenkins, GitLab, GitHub Actions, and Azure DevOps. Scans can be triggered automatically as part of the build process, with results fed into issue trackers like Jira or Azure Boards. You can also enforce policies (e.g., block a build if a vulnerable component is found) and route findings to the right team automatically.

How comprehensive is Invicti’s coverage of containerized applications?

Invicti scans for vulnerabilities inside container images, including outdated packages, open-source dependencies, and exposed secrets. Dynamic SCA within DAST identifies vulnerable components actually used at runtime, while static analysis and SBOM support cover declared dependencies that might not be running. This combination ensures visibility into both runtime risks and dormant vulnerabilities, helping explain gaps between traditional scans and pen tests.

Can Invicti generate SBOMs for containers?

Yes. Invicti Container Security (powered by Mend) supports CycloneDX and SPDX SBOMs for container images, giving teams audit-ready documentation for compliance and supply chain security.

‍

Is there API support for container scanning and automation?

Yes. Invicti provides full API access allowing you to script, automate, and integrate container scans into your workflows. We also offer two-way integrations with collaboration tools like Slack, Teams, Jira, and GitHub ensuring scan results flow seamlessly into developer workflows.

Can Invicti handle concurrent or recurring scans in containerized environments?

Yes. The platform supports parallel and recurring scans across multiple targets, including containerized workloads. This allows AppSec teams to keep up with frequent container deployments without bottlenecks. ASPM adds scheduling, policy-based triggers, and reporting to make recurring scans predictable and efficient.

Can Invicti detect license risks in containerized components?

Yes. The platform flags license issues in containerized open-source components to help meet compliance requirements.

‍

Does Invicti support Kubernetes integration?

Yes. Containers can be scanned both at the registry and cluster level, with Kubernetes integration for runtime visibility.
