Trivy is a comprehensive open-source vulnerability scanner by Aqua Security that detects vulnerabilities in OS packages, language-specific dependencies, misconfigurations, secrets, and license violati

Scan container images for known vulnerabilities using Anchore Grype with SBOM-based matching and configurable severity thresholds.

Configure and execute authenticated vulnerability scans using OpenVAS/Greenbone Vulnerability Management with SSH and SMB credentials for comprehensive host-level assessment.

Scan container images, filesystems, and Kubernetes manifests for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, exposed secrets, and license compliance issues using Aqua Security Trivy with SBOM generation and CI/CD integration.

Builds a structured vulnerability scanning workflow using tools like Nessus, Qualys, and OpenVAS to discover, prioritize, and track remediation of security vulnerabilities across infrastructure. Use when SOC teams need to establish recurring vulnerability assessment processes, integrate scan results with SIEM alerting, and build remediation tracking dashboards.

This skill covers integrating Aqua Security's Trivy scanner into CI/CD pipelines for comprehensive container image vulnerability detection. It addresses scanning Docker images for OS package and application dependency CVEs, detecting misconfigurations in Dockerfiles, scanning filesystem and git repositories, and establishing severity-based quality gates that block deployment of vulnerable images.

Deploy and operate Greenbone/OpenVAS vulnerability management using the python-gvm library to create scan targets, execute vulnerability scans, and parse scan reports via GMP protocol.

Deploy Aqua Security's Trivy scanner to detect vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, secrets, and license issues in container images across CI/CD pipelines and registries.

Perform vulnerability scanning in OT/ICS environments safely using passive monitoring, native protocol queries, and carefully controlled active scanning with Tenable OT Security to identify vulnerabilities without disrupting industrial processes or crashing legacy controllers.

Deploy and configure Rapid7 InsightVM Security Console and Scan Engines for authenticated and unauthenticated vulnerability scanning across enterprise environments.
