Agentless Vulnerability Scanning

Container image and VM filesystem scanning with no agents required. Includes CVE detection, exploit enrichment, and secret detection.

VikingCloud now includes agentless vulnerability scanning for container images and virtual machine filesystems.

Container Image Scanning

Scan container images stored in your cloud registries (ECR, GCR, ACR). VikingCloud pulls and analyzes images directly from your registries without deploying any agents into your environment.

VM Filesystem Scanning

Virtual machine filesystems are scanned using a snapshot-based approach. VikingCloud creates a temporary snapshot of the VM disk, mounts it in an isolated environment, and runs a full vulnerability scan. No agents are installed on the target VM, and all temporary resources are cleaned up automatically.

CVE Detection and Enrichment

Detected vulnerabilities are matched against CVE databases and enriched with exploit availability data. Each finding includes severity, affected package, fixed version, and known exploit status.

Secret Detection

VikingCloud scans container images and configuration files for exposed secrets such as API keys, tokens, and credentials. Detected secrets are flagged with their location and type.
