Pod Supply Chain Attestation Validation
How to validate supply chain attestations at pod admission time without grinding deployments to a halt: which attestation types actually matter, how to chain verifications, and how to fail useful.
What is Container Security? (definition, lifecycle, threats)
Container security spans build, ship, and runtime: scanning, SBOMs, Kubernetes hardening, and runtime detection. How it works, and where Anchore leaves gaps.
Docker image security fundamentals (quick-start guide)
A practical guide to docker image security: how vulnerabilities hide in base images, common misconfigurations, how scanning works, and a five-step quick-start checklist.
Kubernetes vulnerability scanning and audit-ready compliance
Image scans can pass while your Kubernetes control plane stays exposed. See why CVE-2025-1974 and CIS Benchmark gaps break audits — and how to close them.

What is Container Security
Container security protects images, runtimes, orchestration, and hosts. Here's what it covers, why 87% of images ship with critical CVEs, and how to fix it.
What is Container Scanning
Container scanning finds known CVEs, secrets, and misconfigurations in image layers before deployment. Here's how it works and where it falls short.
3 Steps to Secure Container Images
A stock base image ships 180+ unused packages. Learn the 3 steps to secure container images: minimize, prioritize by reachability, and enforce.
What is Container Registry Security
Container registries are one of the highest-leverage attack points in the software supply chain. Here's what actually secures one, with real incidents and numbers.
What is Container Runtime Security
Container runtime security monitors running containers for malicious behavior that image scanning can't catch — here's how it works and why it matters.
What is Container Orchestration
Container orchestration automates how containers deploy, scale, and recover across clusters — and it's also one of the highest-value targets in the software supply chain.
