What Is Container Security Service?

Container Security Service (CGS) scans vulnerabilities and configuration information in images, helping enterprises detect container risks that cannot be found using conventional security software. CGS also provides functions such as container process whitelist, container file monitoring, container information collection, and container escape detection to reduce risks.

Deployment Architecture

Figure 1 shows the CGS deployment architecture and Table 1 describes its key components.
