Beyond the Scanner: What It Really Takes to Secure Containers

Docker is speaking at a Silicon Valley Cybersecurity Meetup! Please learn more and RSVP directly at https://www.meetup.com/silicon-valley-cybersecurity/events/310730511/

Summary of the talk:
Container security isn’t just about running a scanner and fixing CVEs. With SBOMs, VEX statements, and evolving supply chain risks, the real challenge is knowing when a container is truly secure. This talk explores the limits of today’s scanners, how to use SBOMs and VEX effectively, and practical steps for building and deploying secure images. Attendees will leave with a clear framework for moving beyond “passing scans” to genuine container security.
