AquilaX Security Container Scanning
Secure Dockerfiles and Images Before They Ship
AquilaX scans both your Dockerfile and built container images to detect vulnerabilities, insecure configurations, exposed secrets, and risky base images — so you can harden every release without slowing delivery.
Catch vulnerable dependencies inside images
Containers often ship with outdated packages, vulnerable OS libraries, or risky runtime components. AquilaX identifies known vulnerabilities inside images early, before they get promoted to staging or production.
Prevent insecure Dockerfile patterns
Hardening starts at build time. AquilaX flags insecure Dockerfile practices like running as root, weak file permissions, unsafe curl | bash installs, missing pinning, and misconfigurations that expand your attack surface.
Reduce risk without breaking the pipeline
Prioritize what matters: block releases only for critical/high issues, keep noisy low-risk findings out of the way, and give developers clear remediation steps that fit how modern teams ship software.
What Does AquilaX Check in Containers?
AquilaX analyzes container build definitions and runtime artifacts to identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and risky operational defaults across your container supply chain.
Coverage
- • Dockerfiles (build instructions, layers, best practices)
- • Base image risk (EOL images, untrusted sources, missing pinning)
- • OS packages and libraries inside images
- • Language dependencies shipped in the image (npm/pip/maven/etc.)
- • Known CVEs, severity and exploitability signals
- • Secrets accidentally baked into layers
- • Insecure defaults (root user, permissions, exposed services)
- • Supply chain hygiene (repeatable builds, reduced attack surface)
Actionable Findings (Not Just a Wall of CVEs)
Many container scanners dump long vulnerability lists without telling engineers what to do next. AquilaX helps teams move from detection to remediation by focusing on priority, context, and clear fixes.
Findings are enriched so developers can answer quickly:
- • Is the vulnerable package actually in use?
- • Is it reachable in runtime or only in build tooling?
- • Which layer introduced it and how to remove it?
- • What’s the safest base image or version to upgrade to?
- • What changes reduce attack surface immediately?
Result: fewer wasted cycles, faster patching, and more reliable container security gates that teams keep enabled.
Ship Hardened Containers With Confidence
AquilaX makes container security continuous and developer-friendly — scanning Dockerfiles and images in CI/CD so your team catches risk before deployment, not after an alert in production.
Secure your container supply chain from build instructions to runtime artifacts.
