It provides detailed reports and integrates with SBOM to enhance software supply chain security. Grype's capabilities in scanning and its focus on container security make it an essential tool for DevOps teams and security professionals. Its support for multiple image formats and package managers broadens its applicability in modern development workflows.
About ThreatMapper
ThreatMapper is an open-source Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) developed by Deepfence that performs runtime vulnerability scanning, secret detection, and compliance auditing across cloud-native workloads and infrastructure. It deploys lightweight sensors into Kubernetes clusters, Docker hosts, and cloud environments to discover running workloads and scan them for known CVEs, exposed secrets, and compliance violations. DevSecOps teams and cloud security engineers use ThreatMapper to maintain continuous visibility into their containerized and serverless environments, prioritizing vulnerabilities based on runtime context rather than static severity scores alone. The platform provides a visual attack graph that maps exploit paths through the infrastructure, helping teams focus remediation efforts on the vulnerabilities that pose the greatest real-world risk.
