Apart from other bugs, changes also add a lot of software vulnerabilities. You cannot avoid these as software developers. Cybersecurity experts and cybercriminals are at constant war with each other, evolving with time. Every day, a new set of vulnerabilities are found and reported.

In containers, vulnerabilities can exist on multiple fronts and may be completely unrelated to what you’re responsible for. Well, developers write code, and excellent ones do it securely. Still, you never know whether a base image may contain vulnerabilities your developers might completely overlook. In modern DevOps, vulnerabilities are expected, and the idea is to mitigate them as much as possible. We should reduce vulnerabilities, but doing so manually is time-consuming, leading to toil.
