A system and method for detecting vulnerabilities in software containers at runtime are provided. The method includes monitoring events triggered as a result of changes to an application layer of a software container; based on the monitored events, determining if at least one file has been changed; upon determination that at least one file has been changed, scanning the at least one file to detect at least one type of vulnerability; and upon determination of at least one type of known vulnerability, generating a detection event.

Runtime detection of vulnerabilities in an application layer of software containers

A system and method for detecting vulnerabilities in be images of software containers are disclosed. The method includes receiving an event indicating that at least one base image should be scanned for vulnerabilities, each base image including at least one image layer, wherein the event designates at least one source of the at least one base image, wherein the least one base image includes resources utilized to execute at least a software container; extracting contents of each image layer of each base image; scanning the extracting contents to detect at least one vulnerability; and generating a detection event, when the at least one vulnerability is detected.

Static detection of vulnerabilities in base images of software containers

A system and method for detecting vulnerabilities in software containers at runtime are provided. This method includes intercepting a request to instantiate a new software container in a first execution environment; creating a second execution environment; migrating the new software container from the first execution environment to the second execution environment for execution therein; monitoring the operation of the new software container in the second execution environment to detect at least one unauthorized action; and upon detection of the at least one unauthorized action, generating a detection event identifying at least a type of vulnerability associated with the detected unauthorized action.

Runtime detection of vulnerabilities in software containers

A system and method for dynamically adapting traffic inspection and filtering in containerized environments. The method includes monitoring the containerized environment to identify deployment of a software container in the containerized environment; inspecting traffic redirected from the software container, wherein the inspecting includes detecting malicious activity of the software container; and filtering the traffic based on at least one filtering rule when the malicious activity is detected, wherein the at least one filtering rule is defined in a filtering profile for the software container, wherein the filtering profile is determined for the software container when a new container image of the software container is detected in the containerized environment.

Dynamically adapted traffic inspection and filtering in containerized environments

A system and method for detecting vulnerabilities in base images of software containers are disclosed. The method includes receiving an event indicating that at least one base image should be scanned for vulnerabilities, each base image including at least one image layer, wherein the event designates at least one source of the at least one base image, wherein the least one base image includes resources utilized to execute at least a software container; extracting contents of each image layer of each base image; scanning the extracting contents to detect at least one vulnerability; and generating a detection event, when the at least one vulnerability is detected.
