Docker Container Security with True Protection

True Protection by Jag provides security for Docker container environments by scanning container images, monitoring running containers, and detecting threats within containerized applications.

Container Security Features

  • Image Scanning: Scan Docker images for malware, known vulnerabilities, and misconfigurations before deployment.
  • Runtime Protection: Monitor running containers for suspicious process execution, file modifications, and network connections.
  • Registry Integration: Integrate with Docker Hub, AWS ECR, Azure ACR, and private registries to automatically scan images on push.
  • Compliance Checks: Verify container configurations against CIS Docker Benchmark and Kubernetes security best practices.

Installing the Container Scanner

  • Step 1: Install the True Protection host agent on the Docker host machine.
  • Step 2: Enable the container security module: tpj-cli module enable container-security.
  • Step 3: Grant True Protection access to the Docker socket or configure rootless scanning.
  • Step 4: Run your first image scan: tpj-cli container scan myimage:latest.

CI/CD Pipeline Integration

Add the True Protection container scanner to your CI/CD pipeline to catch vulnerabilities before images reach production. Plugins are available for Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, and Azure DevOps. The scanner can be configured to fail builds when critical vulnerabilities are detected.
