The Truth About Container Vulnerabilities: What Every Developer Needs to Know

Hardened container images are a critical security component for organizations using open source software. Being able to trust the software in these container images is vulnerability-free gives developer and security teams peace of mind when building software and saves time across the SDLC spent on patching.

Chainguard set out to look at the hardened container image landscape to unpack this emerging and critical security category.

In this report, you’ll learn:

• Why container images tend to be overloaded with vulnerabilities.

• How the burden of software vulnerabilities in open source components, often called CVEs, becomes a problem for organizations using containers. 

• How do the vulnerability data of offerings from container image providers compare.
