The Problem

90% of Docker images contain known vulnerabilities. Most teams scan after deployment, not before. Trivy and Grype are CLI tools with no management layer. Container registries have basic scanning but no policy enforcement. Base image updates are manual. No tool tracks vulnerability trends across images over time.

The Solution

Container security platform that scans Docker images in CI/CD, blocks vulnerable images from deployment, tracks CVEs across your image inventory, and automates base image updates.

Target Audience

DevOps teams running containers in production, security teams implementing container security policies, and companies needing SOC 2 container scanning evidence

Key Features

1
CI/CD scanning blocking vulnerable images before deployment
2
Registry scanning monitoring all images in Docker Hub, ECR, and GCR
3
Policy engine defining vulnerability thresholds for deployment gates
4
Base image tracking alerting when upstream images have new CVEs
5
SBOM generation for container supply chain compliance
6
Dashboard showing vulnerability trends across your entire image inventory

Why Now?

Container adoption is universal. Supply chain security is critical. Compliance requires container scanning. CI/CD enables shift-left security. Base image vulnerabilities affect all downstream images.

Revenue Model

Free: 10 images/mo. Pro: $19/mo (100 images + CI/CD). Team: $49/mo (500 images + policies). Enterprise: $149/mo (unlimited + SSO + SBOM). Annual: 20% discount.
