What problem it solves

Security teams need to identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, secrets and other security issues across multiple kinds of systems. Trivy addresses this problem by pairing scanners for different issue types with targets such as container images, filesystems, Git repositories, virtual machine images and Kubernetes.

Key features

• Scan multiple target types — Trivy can scan container images, filesystems, remote Git repositories, virtual machine images and Kubernetes resources with a consistent command-line interface.

  Source: README

• Detect multiple security issue types — The scanners can report OS packages and software dependencies, known vulnerabilities, IaC issues, sensitive information and software licenses.

  Source: README

• Cover common technologies and platforms — Trivy supports most popular programming languages, operating systems and platforms, with complete coverage documented on the Scanning Coverage page.

Who it may suit

As an inference, Trivy may suit developers, platform engineers and security teams that need to scan container images, repositories, filesystems or Kubernetes resources for common security issues.

Topics to discuss

• Which scanning workflows or integrations should receive more community attention?

• How should Trivy present results when several scanners find overlapping issues?

• What new target types or security checks would add the most value to the community?
