• Free and covers container, IaC, secret and dependency scanning in one binary.
• Fast enough to run on every image build without slowing the pipeline.
• Excellent Kubernetes integration through the Trivy Operator.

• Proof-based scanning eliminates most false-positive triage, which is the main cost of DAST.
• Handles authenticated scanning of modern JavaScript applications well.
• Good asset discovery for organisations that do not know all their own sites.

• No hosted dashboard or workflow — findings go to your pipeline output.
• No reachability analysis, so alert volume is high on large images.
• Reporting for compliance requires building it yourself.

• Expensive relative to free DAST alternatives.
• Scans take time and are not suited to per-commit feedback.
• Dynamic testing alone cannot find everything a code review would.

Container and Kubernetes pipelines that need free, comprehensive scanning.

Organisations with many web applications and no capacity to triage scanner noise.
