Docker Scout

Docker Scout is a security tool provided by Docker that allows you to scan Docker images for known vulnerabilities and security issues. It uses a combination of static and dynamic analysis to identify potential security risks in your Docker images.

Choose your image: To scan an image, you first need to choose the Docker image that you want to scan.

Run the scan: Once you have selected the image, you can run the Docker Scan command to start the scan. The command will download the image and analyze it for known vulnerabilities and security issues.

docker scount cves <image>

Review the results: After the scan is complete, Docker Scan will generate a report that lists any identified vulnerabilities or issues, along with information about their severity and recommended actions.

Docker Scout uses a variety of sources to identify potential security risks, including the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) and the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database. It also uses machine learning algorithms to identify potential security risks that may not be listed in these databases.

By running Docker Scout on your Docker images, you can identify and address potential security risks before deploying them in production. This can help to improve the overall security of your Docker-based applications and reduce the risk of security breaches.
