Secure containers, repositories, Kubernetes clusters, and cloud artifacts with open-source vulnerability scanning.
Integrate Trivy into CI/CD pipelines to automate security checks.
If your team does not use CI/CD practices.
Use Trivy to scan container images before deployment to ensure they are free from vulnerabilities.
If you do not deploy containerized applications.
Trivy helps organizations identify and remediate security vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in their cloud-native applications and infrastructure.
Scans container images, filesystems, Git repositories, VM images, and Kubernetes.
Identifies known vulnerabilities (CVEs) in OS packages and software dependencies.
Detects issues in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) configurations.
Finds secrets and sensitive data within your codebase.
Checks for software licenses to ensure compliance.
trivy is an Apache-2.0 open-source, self-hosted alternative to Snyk, Wiz, and Prisma Cloud for teams that want vulnerability, container, Kubernetes, IaC, secret, SBOM, and license checks close to their code. It is best for DevOps and platform teams that prefer CLI, CI, and Kubernetes-native scanning over a managed security platform.
vs Snyk: Snyk sells a broader AI security platform across SCA, SAST, IaC, and container scanning, with paid plans for organizations and enterprise programs. trivy gives teams a scanner they can run locally, in CI, or inside clusters without buying a per-developer platform. Snyk wins when you need portfolio analytics, governance, and managed remediation workflows.
vs Wiz: Wiz focuses on agentless cloud vulnerability management, graph-based risk prioritization, and cloud-wide context. trivy scans concrete artifacts and environments such as images, filesystems, repositories, VM images, and Kubernetes. Use trivy for shift-left and self-hosted scanning; use Wiz when the priority is cloud asset graphing and executive-level risk prioritization.
vs Prisma Cloud: Prisma Cloud combines code security, pull-request comments, centralized misconfiguration views, and enterprise DevSecOps workflows. trivy is lighter: it fits into existing pipelines and gives security findings without requiring a full CNAPP rollout. Prisma Cloud is stronger for centralized policy operations, while trivy is stronger for fast, transparent scanning that developers can run themselves.
Install with Homebrew or run the container image before adding it to CI:
brew install trivytri is pronounced like trigger, vy is pronounced like envy.
Trivy can scan container images, filesystems, Git repositories, VM images, and Kubernetes.
Yes, Trivy is widely used in production environments for security scanning.
