In this article, we dive into the fundamentals of supply chain security with a focus on container image security. Our discussion highlights the significance of reducing the footprint of container images to minimize the attack surface and strengthen overall image security. We then detail various methods for analyzing workloads with industry-standard tools and illustrate how to scan images for known vulnerabilities using popular scanning utilities. Throughout this article, you will find several practical labs and hands-on exercises designed to reinforce these concepts and provide real-world application experience.
