Container Security & CSPM using Qualys, AQUA, Trivy & Snyk

Define cloud security posture management (CSPM) as the process of identifying misconfigurations and compliance issues in cloud environments, with Aqua monitoring across providers like GCP and Oracle.

Learn how to create a Qualys Total Cloud account, sign up for a free trial, and configure the Total Cloud CSPM dashboard to identify vulnerabilities in AWS using connectors.

Create a free aws account by following steps from search to signup, verify email and phone, provide contact details and a ₹2 credit card charge, then access the aws dashboard.

Connect Qualys Total Cloud to an AWS account, configure a cloud connector and cross‑account role, and run cloud security posture management to identify misconfigurations and guide remediation.

Explore container security basics, how containers package apps and dependencies, run with container runtimes like Docker Engine, and scan with tools such as Aqua, Prisma Cloud, Snyk, and Trivy.

Explore AQUA's cloud native security capabilities, focusing on container security and cloud security posture management, including Kubernetes and serverless security, with CI/CD image scanning and leadership by Gartner.

Create an Aqua Security trial account by navigating the signup page with a business email, confirm your email, and access the Aqua dashboard; next, connect to the AWS cloud.

Learn to download and install Docker Desktop on Windows, follow the installer steps, restart the system, and prepare to test the installation in the next lecture.

Test the local docker installation and create a Docker Hub account to set up a public repository, laying the groundwork to push a vulnerable image and perform container security scans.

Push a vulnerable Docker image to your Docker Hub repository after verifying Docker Desktop and WSL are set up, then tag and push for the Aqua container skin security scan.

This hands-on lecture shows how to integrate aqua with docker hub, add a docker hub registry, test the connection, add images, and initiate an image scan, with issues explored next.

Integrate Aqua with AWS using Echo to enable CSPM, connect cloud accounts, and scan infrastructure for configuration issues with actionable security recommendations.

Run an Aqua CSPM scan on AWS infrastructure to identify security issues, view plugin and source breakdowns, filter results, and export a CSP or PDF report for stakeholders.

Demonstrates a hands-on container security scan with Aqua's Trivy on Windows, including downloading the Trivy image, scanning a Python 3.4 Alpine Docker image, and reviewing vulnerability details.

Experience a hands-on demo of Docker scan to identify vulnerabilities in container images and Docker files, with Snyk at the backend and json output for analysis.

Sign up for Snyk, download the CLI, and run a container security scan on Windows. Scan a Python 3.4-alpine image with Docker to reveal vulnerabilities and remediation options.

Identify false positives in security tooling to validate true vulnerabilities, enabling DevSecOps engineers to clear false alarms and report true issues in Jira, reducing alert fatigue in enterprises.

Perform false positive analysis for container security scans, using snyk to test python alpine images and identify safe versions with no vulnerable paths found.

Demonstrates building and tagging a Docker image in a Jenkins declarative pipeline, then scanning it with Snyk to identify vulnerabilities, with credential management and a try/catch to prevent build failures.

Discover information security careers across devsecops, cloud penetration testing, container security for Docker and Kubernetes, security architecture and design, web and mobile penetration testing, and cloud security and compliance.
