Trivy vs Grype: Container Scanning Head-to-Head
Compare Trivy and Grype on vulnerability database sources, scan speed, OS coverage, SBOM integration, and CI ergonomics to pick the right open source container scanner.
Deep dives, practical guides, and incident analyses from engineers who build Safeguard. No fluff, no vendor FUD — just what you need to ship secure software.

Both scratch and distroless promise minimal attack surface. The right choice depends on your runtime, your debugging needs, and your tolerance for complexity.
Kubernetes 1.27 graduated seccomp default, introduced in-place pod resize, and cleaned up admission. Here is what actually matters for cluster security.
Distroless images remove the shell, package manager, and everything else an attacker needs post-exploitation. Here is how to use them, what breaks, and whether the security tradeoff is worth it.
Your base image choice determines your container security baseline. Most teams pick based on size or familiarity, not security properties.
Not all container scanners are equal. We compared Trivy, Grype, Snyk Container, and others on accuracy, speed, and coverage.
Root in the container often means root on the host. Rootless mode breaks that assumption. Here is how to run Docker and Podman without root and why it matters more than you think.
Container build tools have direct access to your source code, secrets, and registries. BuildKit and Buildah offer security features that most teams ignore. Here is what to use and why.
Misconfigured Kubernetes RBAC is a common path to supply chain compromise. Here's how to lock down permissions in your clusters.
