Abstract

According to an embodiment, a computer-implemented method can comprise: inspecting, using a processor, a set of container images respectively associated with pods; identifying, using the processor, a first subset of the pods that contain a vulnerability; classifying, using the processor, the first subset of the pods as primary-infected pods; generating, using the processor, a first list of namespaces in which the primary-infected pods are deployed within a network; checking, using the processor, network policies in connection with the first list of namespaces to determine secondary-suspect pods that have ability to communicate with the primary-infected pods; generating, using the processor, a list of secondary-suspect namespaces in which the secondary-suspect pods are deployed within the network; identifying, using the processor, one or more secondary-suspect pods that communicated with one or more primary-infected pods; and generating, using the processor, a list of secondary-infected pods.
