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)
