4.5Snyk Container: Commercial with Fix Recommendations

Snyk differentiates itself by providing fix recommendations -- it tells you which base image upgrade or package version would resolve the vulnerability:

# Scan with fix recommendations
snyk container test myapp:latest --severity-threshold=high

# Monitor continuously (alerts on new CVEs for deployed images)
snyk container monitor myapp:latest

# Get base image upgrade recommendations
snyk container test myapp:latest --file=Dockerfile
# Output includes:
# Tested 1 image, found 12 vulnerabilities
# Base Image      Vulnerabilities  Severity
# node:20         42               8 critical, 15 high
#
# Recommendations:
# Minor upgrade: node:20.11 (removes 8 vulnerabilities)
# Alternative:   node:20-slim (removes 30 vulnerabilities)
# Best:          node:20-alpine (removes 38 vulnerabilities)
