Zero to Automated: A Practical Framework for Container Vulnerability Management
Special guest from the US, John Amaral CTO and Co-Founder of Root.io
Container vulnerability management is a high-stakes challenge, often tied to service-level objectives (SLOs) like ensuring no critical or high vulnerabilities in running images. Teams—whether managing golden images or broader security efforts—struggle with high costs, fragmented workflows, and the complexity of holistic remediation. This session presents a practical maturity model as both a rubric for guiding your journey and a roadmap for implementing scalable, automated vulnerability management processes.
You’ll learn to:
Map your current capabilities and posture across 5 maturity levels.
Define metrics to track progress in vulnerability remediation and automation.
Implement scalable, automated controls to reduce critical and high vulnerabilities.
Build developer-friendly workflows for remediation that support production readiness.
