About:
Trivy is a comprehensive security scanner that detects vulnerabilities in container images, file systems, and Git repositories. It provides detailed reports on OS packages, application dependencies, and infrastructure as code misconfigurations. The tool is designed for CI/CD pipelines and local development, offering fast and accurate security assessments.
Key Features:
  • Scans container images for OS and language package vulnerabilities
  • Detects IaC misconfigurations in Terraform, Dockerfile, and Kubernetes manifests
  • Finds sensitive information and secrets in filesystems and repositories
  • Simple CLI with comprehensive SBOM generation capabilities
  • Integrates easily with CI/CD workflows
Use Cases:
  • CI/CD pipeline vulnerability scanning before deployment
  • Local development security checks on container images
  • Compliance auditing for infrastructure as code
  • Software supply chain security analysis
Alternatives:
  • Clair – Clair is container-focused and heavier; Trivy is faster and scans more targets
  • Snyk – Snyk requires account/login; Trivy is open-source and works offline
  • Grype – Grype is Syft-based; Trivy includes config scanning and broader coverage
