Detect and block vulnerable images from container workloads.

Scanning images for vulnerabilities

Choose an image scanning method

Compare the Calico Cloud Image Assurance scanner options and pick the right combination of cluster, registry, and pipeline scanning for your environment.

Scan images in a Kubernetes cluster

Scan every image running in a Kubernetes cluster with the Calico Cloud Image Assurance cluster scanner to catch CVEs in deployed and third-party images.

Scan images in container registries

Run the Calico Cloud Image Assurance registry scanner against container registries to catch CVEs in stored images that never pass through a build pipeline.

Integrate the scanner into your build pipeline

Integrate the Calico Cloud Image Assurance CLI scanner into a CI build pipeline to catch container image vulnerabilities before images reach a registry.

Working with scan results

Set up alerts on vulnerabilities

Configure Calico Cloud Image Assurance alerts on high-severity vulnerabilities so security teams are notified and can route remediation to the right owners.

View scanned and running images

Interpret scanned and running image results in the Calico Cloud Image Assurance dashboard, including filters, dismissals, and per-image vulnerability detail.

Exclude vulnerabilities from scan results

Exclude false-positive or low-priority vulnerabilities from Calico Cloud Image Assurance scan results to cut noise and focus on findings that need remediation.
