Containerized deployments are essential for cloud-native applications, making container image scanning a critical component of AppSec. For that purpose, a leading DAST for web applications Invicti (formerly Netsparker), provides a ready-to-use integration with Mend Container, one of the modules of Mend.io (formerly WhiteSource) solution.
Detecting security issues in container images
Some web application vulnerabilities can get buried within containers, with updates and new deployments making it challenging to track their security. But Mend Container is capable of identifying issues within components and exposed secrets. Through the integration, it provides the findings in a centralized view alongside other testing results on the Invicti platform.
Streamlining container security
Containers and container environments can quickly become complex, making optimized security testing crucial. By integrating with widespread container registries while also supporting scanning at the Kubernetes cluster level, Mend Container on the Invicti platform helps teams simplify testing.
Container security during development
Seamless CI/CD integration is a must for securing cloud-native applications. The Invicti platform offers industry-leading integration with development workflows and collaboration tools. It supports multiple testing methodologies, including DAST, SAST, IAST, SCA, and Mend Container. This ensures security is embedded into the development lifecycle without disrupting it.
