Regulated teams need container scanning that produces evidence, runs where data must stay, and ranks findings by exposure. Use these criteria.
A one day plan for a small team: harden the Dockerfile, scan in CI, fail builds only on exploited issues, and keep a short list of owners and dates.
Most container scan noise has five causes. Shrink the image, scan what you ship, record justified not affected calls in VEX, gate on exploitation evidence.
Set up container scanning in this order: trusted bases, build scan, secrets and config checks, registry rescans, then admission control. Limits included.
A decision guide for application security posture management: when it pays off, eight questions to ask any vendor and the limits no dashboard removes.
ASPM has no single standard definition, so test the claims. Ask about data sources, dedup, exploit signals, finding ownership and proof that a fix landed.
You can build a basic ASPM view for free with open formats, a tracker and a free scan. Here is what that covers and where it breaks down as you grow.
Regulated teams should weigh evidence trails, where code is scanned, deployment options and framework mapping above dashboards. Criteria and limits inside.
