Container & Infrastructure Scanning Services
Identify vulnerabilities in container images, IaC templates, and cloud configurations before they reach production.
About Service
Container & Infrastructure Scanning Overview
Containers and modern infrastructure tools make applications faster to build and deploy — but they also introduce new risks. A single outdated base image, misconfigured Kubernetes setting, or insecure infrastructure file can lead to a breach long before a system goes live.
Container & Infrastructure Scanning helps you detect these issues early. Instead of finding problems after deployment, you catch them during development. CyberXSoft helps teams scan images, review infrastructure templates, and monitor registries so unsafe components never make it into production.
Our goal is simple: give you visibility and confidence in every build.
What Our Container & Infrastructure Scanning Service Includes
Container Image Scanning
We scan container images for vulnerabilities, outdated packages, and unsafe configurations.
What’s included:
- Base image risk review
- Detection of outdated libraries
- Scan of dependencies and packages
- Image hardening recommendations
Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) Scanning
IaC templates can introduce large-scale misconfigurations if not checked.
What’s included:
- Terraform, CloudFormation, and ARM template scanning
- Identification of insecure defaults
- Hard-coded credentials detection
- Policy compliance checks
Registry & Artifact Monitoring
We help you monitor image registries to prevent unsafe or unapproved images from being used.
What’s included:
- Registry scanning
- Tag and version review
- Alerts for newly discovered vulnerabilities
- Tracking unauthorized image usage
Kubernetes & Container Platform Review
Containers depend on secure runtime environments.
What’s included:
- Review of K8s configurations
- Namespace and privilege checks
- Exposure and port risk analysis
- Storage and secret-management review
Automated CI/CD Integration
We add scanning tools directly into your pipelines.
What’s included:
- Automatic scans during builds
- Pipeline blocking for critical issues
- Developer-friendly reports
- Integration with existing workflows
Tools Commonly Used for Container & Infrastructure Scanning
- Trivy
- Aqua Security
- Anchore
- Snyk Container
- Clair
- Checkov (IaC scanning)
- Kube-hunter
- Terraform Validators
These tools help detect insecure images, misconfigurations, and risky infrastructure definitions.
Real Problems Companies Face with Containers & IaC
- Outdated base images included in new builds
- Hard-coded credentials in IaC templates
- Images pulled from untrusted registries
- Containers running with unnecessary privileges
- Misconfigured Kubernetes clusters
- No visibility into image updates or patches
- Developers bypassing scanning due to time pressure
- Lack of standard processes for image approval
These gaps often lead to supply-chain risks or insecure deployments.
Use Cases for Container & Infrastructure Scanning
Securing Microservices Environments
When applications rely on multiple containers, each image must be checked for safe deployment.
Cloud-Native Teams Using IaC
IaC files define entire cloud architectures; one mistake can expose critical systems.
CI/CD Pipelines with Rapid Deployments
Fast pipelines need automated checks to avoid shipping vulnerable images.
Kubernetes Adoption
Kubernetes needs strong baseline security to avoid misconfigurations that attackers can exploit.
Compliance Checks Before Release
Auditors increasingly ask for proof that images and IaC templates are scanned regularly.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should container images be scanned for vulnerabilities?
Images should be scanned every time they are built or updated, and rescanned when new vulnerabilities are published. Even stable applications need periodic checks because new risks can appear long after an image was deployed.
Can IaC scanning really prevent real-world cloud breaches?
Yes. Many cloud breaches happen because insecure settings were written into IaC templates and deployed automatically. Scanning helps catch these issues — such as open ports, weak access rules, or missing encryption — before they reach your cloud environment.
Is container scanning useful if we only use trusted base images?
Trusted images reduce risk, but they’re not foolproof. Maintainers update their images regularly, and vulnerabilities are discovered over time. Scanning ensures your version of the image remains safe and up to date.
Do developers need to change their workflow to support scanning?
Not much. Scanning tools integrate directly into CI/CD pipelines and repositories. Developers continue working as usual while receiving clear alerts when something needs fixing.
Can scanning detect hard-coded secrets inside infrastructure files?
Yes. Modern scanning tools identify passwords, API keys, tokens, and other credentials accidentally committed to templates. This helps prevent leaks and unauthorized access.
What happens if a vulnerability is found in an image already in production?
You receive a clear report outlining the risk, the affected version, and steps to fix it. Most issues can be resolved by updating packages, rebuilding the image, or switching to a safer base image.
