FAQ

What is container security?

Container security focuses on reducing the security risks of containerized applications. These include vulnerabilities in application source code and open source software found in static container images, container infrastructure risks, and runtime risks found in production applications.

How does Checkmarx secure containers effectively?

As with any type of application, identifying software vulnerabilities as early as possible in the software development lifecycle (SDLC) helps to reduce the cost and business risk associated with container security. However, some risks only become apparent after applications are deployed in a runtime environment.

Checkmarx helps you address software vulnerabilities in your source code and open source software, while partnering with Sysdig to correlate pre-production and runtime insights and identify vulnerabilities that are called by your code and exploitable in runtime containerized applications.

Does Checkmarx provide remediation container vulnerabilities?

Yes! Checkmarx provides remediation guidance for vulnerabilities discovered in both your source code and open source software.

Not only do we provide remediation guidance, but we also help you better prioritize vulnerabilities to fix first, by correlating between your source code, the methods in open source libraries called by your code, and open source libraries found in running containerized applications.

How do I enable container runtime insights within Checkmarx?

You can independently purchase container security capabilities from Checkmarx for development environments and Sysdig for production environments.

Correlating pre-production and runtime insights requires both a Checkmarx One and Sysdig Cloud Secure License.

Why Are Container Security Tools Important?

Containers are lightweight, ephemeral components that package code and applications and are a fundamental building block for cloud-based applications. This makes them attractive targets for attackers. Container security tools identify vulnerabilities, insecure dependencies, misconfigurations, and compliance risks in container images – both static and in runtime – as will as in Docker environments. They also help recommend secure images to use. Without proper security, containers can expose an organization to breaches, data leaks, and compliance failures.

What Features Should I Look for in a Container Security Tool?

When selecting a container security tool, look for features that ensure comprehensive container protection from code to runtime. This includes container image scanning, runtime insights correlation with pre-production data, vulnerability triage, prioritization, base image remediation, scan risk reports and CI/CD integrations. These should be delivered through a developer-centric approach to build #DevSecTrust.

How Do Container Security Tools Integrate with CI/CD Pipelines?

Container security tools integrate with CI/CD pipelines by embedding security checks at multiple stages of development to ensure vulnerabilities and misconfigurations are caught early. They scan container images during the build phase, blocking deployments that contain critical vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, policy violations, etc. This continuous feedback loop ensures that security remains a constant focus throughout the development process, allowing teams to address issues promptly while maintaining DevSec trust.

How Do Container Security Tools Handle Compliance Requirements?

Container security tools help organizations meet compliance requirements by enforcing security policies, enabling audit trails, and generating reports aligned with regulatory standards. In addition, the ability to prioritize risks helps organizations meet specific compliance requirements.

What Is the Difference Between Container Security and Traditional Application Security?

Container security is an aspect of application security focused on identifying risks in container images or running containerized applications. Container security addresses unique threats such as insecure container images, misconfigured Docker settings, and runtime attacks targeting ephemeral workloads. Enterprises should view application risk across the full lifecycle of their containerized application, whether its SAST for vulnerabilities in proprietary code, SCA for vulnerabilities in OSS, DAST to test compiled applications, container security for container-specific risks, and more.

Can Checkmarx’s Container Security Tool Integrate with Cloud Service Providers?

Checkmarx integrates with leading cloud-native application protection platforms (CNAPPs) such as Sysdig and cloud service providers such as AWS EKS. This integration enables Checkmarx to correlate security findings from the SDLC with runtime data to help prioritize remediation based on real-world risk such as whether an OSS library is used in production or an application is deployed in an Internet-facing manner.
