The Challenge with Traditional Container Scanning Tools

Manual Mapping and Setup

Security teams spend hours manually linking container images to their source repositories, slowing response times and increasing human error. Using legacy container security tools often leads to fragmented visibility.

Inconsistent Coverage Across Environments and Kubernetes

Each team or pipeline sets up scanning differently, leading to gaps in visibility and inconsistent enforcement of security policies across cloud environments.

Duplicate and Fragmented Findings

The same vulnerability can appear multiple times across code and image scans, creating noise and confusion about where to fix security vulnerabilities.

Limited Scalability

Maintaining accurate mapping across hundreds of repos and containers becomes unmanageable, forcing teams to choose between depth and coverage of vulnerabilities.

Automated Code-to-Image Mapping and Compliance

Automation

Automated and Seamless Mapping Process from Source Code

Arnica replaces tedious, error-prone mapping with a fully automated process that connects every Docker file to its container image, saving your AppSec and dev teams time and headaches.

Automated Docker File Labeling

Arnica automatically tags Docker files with OCI-compliant labels, removing the need for engineers to manually track connections between repos and images.

Zero configuration, zero developer effort.

Arnica's developer-native workflow runs silently in the background, requiring no setup, CLI commands, or process changes.

Standardized Traceability Across the Org

Every image carries consistent metadata, eliminating human error and enforcing governance across all teams and other containers.

Automatically Updated

As new containers are built, maps are refreshed automatically to maintain full coverage and image assurance.

Visibility

Gain Complete Visibility and Ownership through Image Scanning

With deterministic mapping, Arnica gives security teams the context they need to take action fast against potential vulnerabilities.

FAQ

Arnica's Container Image Scanning provides Automated Code to Image Mapping that automatically labels Docker files and maps every container image back to its source repository. This gives security teams instant ownership, full traceability, and faster remediation without requiring any manual developer effort or tagging processes.

Arnica automatically connects every Docker file to its container image through deterministic mapping technology. The system eliminates the need for manual tagging or spreadsheets by automatically labeling containers and establishing clear connections between source code repositories and their corresponding container images, providing security teams with complete visibility and ownership context.

Traditional container image scanning relies on manual tagging and spreadsheets that quickly fall out of sync, making it difficult to identify which repository or team is responsible for fixing vulnerabilities. Different teams often scan and label containers inconsistently, leading to poor quality findings, duplicate vulnerabilities appearing across code and image scans, and workflows that can't scale across large organizations.

Arnica replaces tedious, error-prone manual mapping processes with a fully automated system that connects every Docker file to its container image without any developer or security team intervention. This automation saves both AppSec and development teams significant time and eliminates the headaches associated with maintaining manual spreadsheets and inconsistent tagging practices.

Through deterministic mapping, Arnica automatically establishes clear ownership by connecting each container image back to its specific source repository and development team. When a vulnerability is discovered in a container image, security teams instantly know which repository, team, and codebase is responsible, enabling faster remediation and eliminating delays caused by ownership uncertainty.

Arnica's code-to-image mapping eliminates the confusion caused when the same vulnerability appears multiple times across separate code and container image scans. By establishing deterministic connections between source code and containers, the system provides a unified view that removes duplicate findings and clarifies exactly where remediation needs to occur.

Arnica brings automation and consistency to container security that scales effectively across even the largest environments. The automated mapping process ensures that all teams follow the same standards without manual coordination, eliminating inconsistent labeling practices and providing uniform, high-quality findings regardless of organization size or the number of development teams.

Manual spreadsheet tracking creates inconsistent records that quickly fall out of sync and requires ongoing maintenance effort from security and development teams. Arnica's automated approach provides deterministic, always up-to-date mapping between code and containers without any manual effort, ensuring accuracy and eliminating the time spent maintaining spreadsheets or chasing down ownership information.

Arnica accelerates remediation by automatically providing security teams with complete context about each vulnerability, including which specific repository, team, and codebase is responsible. This instant ownership information eliminates the delays associated with investigating which team needs to fix an issue, allowing remediation efforts to begin immediately without manual investigation or coordination.

Arnica's Container Image Scanning requires no developer effort or workflow changes. The automated code-to-image mapping happens transparently in the background, eliminating the need for developers to manually tag containers, maintain documentation, or change how they build and deploy container images.
