Anchore

Anchore provides comprehensive software supply chain security through deep container image analysis and policy enforcement. The platform performs detailed vulnerability scanning of container images, analyzing all layers to identify security issues in operating system packages, application dependencies, and custom code. Anchore's powerful policy engine allows organizations to define and enforce custom security policies, automatically blocking deployment of images that violate compliance or security requirements. The platform integrates seamlessly with CI/CD pipelines including Jenkins, GitLab, GitHub Actions, and CircleCI to catch issues early in the development process. Anchore supports Kubernetes admission webhooks for deployment-time policy enforcement, preventing non-compliant containers from running in production clusters. The platform generates detailed Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) in multiple formats (SPDX, CycloneDX) for complete supply chain transparency and compliance. Advanced features include secret detection to identify exposed credentials, license compliance checking, malware scanning, and registry synchronization for continuous monitoring. Based on the popular open-source Anchore Engine, the enterprise platform adds role-based access control (RBAC), detailed audit reporting, multi-tenancy, and enterprise-grade support. Anchore helps organizations meet compliance requirements for NIST, SSDF, and executive orders on software supply chain security.
