Containers have become the backbone of modern DevOps, but they also introduce new security headaches. A single vulnerable base image or misconfigured container can snowball into a major breach across dozens of services. In fact, recent research found that about 75% of container images carry high-severity or critical vulnerabilities. Add to this the 2025 trends of supply chain attacks and ever-evolving CVEs, and it’s clear that container scanning tools are a must-have.

Modern software teams have a buffet of security tools to choose from. Veracode, Checkmarx, and Fortify are three heavyweight application security platforms often considered by technical leaders. Each promises to secure your code and catch vulnerabilities early. But choosing the right one matters: it impacts developer workflow, security coverage, and how much time your team spends chasing false alarms.
