Our take
What our shortlists say about the one we picked.
- Snyk Container
Best for: Developer teams scanning images inside their pipelines
It earns a place because it hands developers a concrete fix, a safer base image they can move to in one click. Its size fit runs from startups to enterprise. It lists Kubernetes monitoring, so if you need to stop attacks in running clusters, ask whether it blocks at runtime or needs a second layer.
