How It Works

Secure containers from build to runtime in three steps

1

Scan Container Images

Integrate TigerGate into your CI/CD pipeline to scan container images for vulnerabilities, malware, secrets, and misconfigurations before deployment.

2

Deploy Runtime Protection

Deploy TigerGate's eBPF agent to your Kubernetes clusters or Docker hosts for real-time runtime security monitoring and enforcement.

3

Monitor & Enforce

Continuously monitor container behavior, enforce security policies, and receive alerts on security violations or anomalous activities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about TigerGate Container Security

TigerGate Container Security protects containers across the full lifecycle — build, ship, and run. At build time it scans images for CVEs, malware, secrets in layers, and generates SBOMs in SPDX and CycloneDX formats. At runtime it uses a lightweight eBPF agent to monitor container behavior and block threats such as privilege escalation, container escape, and unexpected network connections. It also includes 83+ CIS Kubernetes Benchmark checks for cluster and pod security posture.
Image scanning and Kubernetes posture checks (RBAC, network policies, pod security) are fully agentless — connect read-only credentials and scanning begins within minutes. The eBPF runtime agent is only required for real-time behavioral monitoring inside running containers. It deploys as a DaemonSet via Helm or YAML, adds less than 3% CPU overhead, and requires no kernel modules.
TigerGate supports Docker, Podman, containerd, and CRI-O for image scanning. For runtime protection and Kubernetes security, it works with Kubernetes (self-managed), Amazon EKS, Google GKE, Azure AKS, Red Hat OpenShift, Rancher, K3s, and AWS ECS. The eBPF agent runs on Linux 4.15+ for monitoring and Linux 5.7+ for active LSM enforcement.
TigerGate automatically generates a Software Bill of Materials for every scanned image in both SPDX and CycloneDX formats. The SBOM catalogs every OS package and application dependency inside the image, enabling you to quickly determine exposure when new CVEs are disclosed. It also supports supply chain security requirements in frameworks such as NIST SSDF and executive-order-level compliance mandates.
Yes. TigerGate integrates with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI, Azure DevOps, AWS CodePipeline) to gate deployments on scan results. You can configure thresholds — for example, block on any critical CVE (CVSS 9.0+) or any detected malware — so that vulnerable images never reach your registry or cluster.
Container Security findings map to CIS Kubernetes Benchmark v1.8.0, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, and ISO 27001. A 14-day free trial is available with no credit card required — connect your registry and clusters in minutes to get full coverage immediately.
