Container Security Tools Resources

We’re looking for container security platforms that make vulnerability scanning easy and reliable—especially in environments where images move across multiple registries, clusters, and regions. Ideally, the tools should simplify image risk visibility, automate scanning in CI/CD, and support teams that operate globally.

We’re hoping to find solutions that are:

• Reliable for scanning containers at scale across regions
• Equipped with strong vulnerability, misconfiguration, and SBOM analysis
• Suited for international or multi-cluster operations
• Easy to integrate with existing developer workflows and registries

Here are a few platforms we’ve been researching on G2:

Provides deep image scanning with CVE detection, compliance checks, and CI/CD integrations. Its ability to tie vulnerabilities to runtime behavior makes it easier to prioritize what actually matters.

Agentless scanning across cloud environments, including container registries. Wiz is strong at mapping vulnerabilities to real-world exposure, helping global teams understand risk across regions and clusters.

Another agentless CNAPP solution offering continuous scanning of images, cloud workloads, and registries. Orca’s unified dashboard makes multi-region vulnerability visibility more manageable.

Focuses on secure, minimal, and verified images. While known for supply chain security, Chainguard also provides strong SBOM and vulnerability insights that reduce risk at the source.

Offers image scanning, policy enforcement, and admission controls. A great option for Kubernetes-heavy teams that want to block risky images before deployment.

These platforms provide the container vulnerability scanning capabilities that cloud-native security teams need to stay ahead of threats while keeping developer workflows smooth.

Would really value your input and recommendations! Which tools have been the most effective in your container security workflows?

I want to start a discussion with G2 experts on which platforms do the best job of securing container images before they ever reach production. Image security has become a must-have for teams shifting left—especially with growing concerns around supply chain integrity, embedded vulnerabilities, and misconfigurations baked into base images.Based on industry adoption, feature depth, and strong G2 presence in the Container Security Tools category, here are the top solutions most often cited for container image protection:

Chainguard – Offers hardened, minimal, and cryptographically signed images that drastically reduce attack surface. Ideal for teams wanting secure-by-default base images without the overhead of managing custom hardening workflows.

Sysdig Secure – Provides deep image scanning tied to runtime insights. Sysdig highlights vulnerabilities, configuration risks, and compliance issues early in the pipeline, making it a strong fit for smaller teams building a shift-left program.

Wiz – Known for agentless cloud scanning, Wiz correlates image vulnerabilities with cloud context. Mid-market teams appreciate the visibility it brings into which images pose real risk once deployed.

Orca Security – Similar to Wiz, Orca offers agentless image scanning with detailed vulnerability reporting and risk prioritization. Its CNAPP model makes it easier to manage image security alongside cloud and workload risks.

Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes – Provides image scanning, signature enforcement, build-time controls, and admission policies. While commonly used by enterprises, its modular setup also works well for growing teams that want guardrails built into CI/CD.

These platforms provide strong visibility into what’s inside your images, help enforce supply chain policies, and reduce the risk of insecure artifacts entering production.

For those managing containerized environments, which tools have given you the best balance of depth, ease of use, and integration into your CI/CD pipelines—and why?
