Config Audit Agent

Your Docker and Kubernetes security specialist that hardens container images and runtime environments.

What is Config Audit Agent?

The Container Security Agent scans Docker images, Kubernetes manifests, and container runtime environments for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and security risks. It ensures your containers are production-ready and compliant with industry security standards.

Problems It Solves

Vulnerable Base Images

Your application might be secure, but if you're building on top of an outdated base image with critical CVEs, your entire container is compromised.

Overprivileged Containers

Running containers as root, with privileged mode, or excessive capabilities creates massive attack surface. One container escape compromises your entire cluster.

Kubernetes Misconfiguration

Missing security contexts, exposed secrets in manifests, and permissive RBAC policies create vulnerabilities that attackers actively scan for.

Supply Chain Risks

Public container images may contain backdoors, malware, or cryptominers. You have no idea what's actually in the images you're running.

How Config Audit Agent Works

Comprehensive Image Scanning

Scans every layer of your container images for CVEs, exposed secrets, malware, and supply chain risks. Analyzes OS packages and application dependencies.

Kubernetes Security Validation

Checks manifests against CIS Kubernetes Benchmark and best practices. Flags security contexts, privileged containers, and RBAC misconfigurations.

Runtime Security Monitoring

Monitors running containers for anomalous behavior, privilege escalation, and unexpected network connections. Detects container escapes in real-time.

Compliance Enforcement

Enforces organizational policies: no root containers, required resource limits, mandatory security contexts, and approved base images.

User Benefits

Secure Container Supply Chain

Verify every container image before deployment. Block vulnerable or non-compliant images from reaching production.

Prevent Container Escapes

Eliminate misconfigurations that allow attackers to break out of containers and compromise your Kubernetes cluster.

Shift-Left Security

Catch container security issues in CI/CD, not production. Developers get immediate feedback on Dockerfile best practices.

Kubernetes Hardening

Ensure all workloads follow security best practices: non-root users, read-only filesystems, minimal capabilities.

Compliance Validation

Prove compliance with CIS benchmarks, PCI-DSS container requirements, and organizational security policies.

Faster Remediation

Get exact Dockerfile and manifest fixes. Update base images and configurations with one-click remediation.

Real-World Use Cases

Kubernetes Cluster Hardening

Found 34 pods running as root with privileged mode. Provided updated manifests with security contexts, reducing attack surface by 85%.

Base Image Vulnerability

Detected critical RCE vulnerability in Alpine Linux base image used across 50+ microservices. Automated PRs updated all Dockerfiles to patched version.

Container Secret Exposure

Identified database credentials baked into container layer. Migrated to Kubernetes secrets with proper RBAC, preventing credential exposure.
