Trivy and Tracee, Aqua Security Tools

40 minutes

😇 My new GitHub Security workshop has launched! A free 2-hour workshop with hands-on labs to harden your repos and your workflows from common supply chain attacks. I'll cover how attackers are getting in, and then we'll lock down a sample repo so you know what needs to be done to protect your code. You'll leave with a deep understanding of risks and mitigations as well as a list of helpful tools to keep your repos safe, including my new "gasa" tool for scanning your repos and orgs.

Bret is joined by Anaïs Urlichs of Aqua Security to talk container and Kubernetes security tools like trivy, kube-bench, tracee, and kube-hunter. I've been using trivy for over four years to scan for known vulnerabilities in my own container images and my clients.

We also look at tracee, a new tool that is part of a new generation of tools that use the Linux kernel eBPF feature to investigate what's happening in real time on your servers. Anaïs is great as an explainer of Kubernetes and all cloud native things, and she's the creator of the 100 days of Kubernetes tutorials on her YouTube channel where she breaks down various cloud native topics for beginners. Based on what I've learned in this show from Anaïs, I plan to change how I use trivy so that it's scanning more things and more often in my CI automation pipelines.
