Dev teams often waste valuable time and effort sifting through vulnerabilities… just to determine if a container is safe.

ActiveState’s new Secure Container Image Catalog simplifies how teams find, compare, and pull secure containers.

The growing catalog, which offers free container images for languages like Python and Java, provides:

🔹 Real-time vulnerability insights and VEX advisories
🔹 Full SBOMs and component details for complete transparency
🔹 Reliable architecture and compatibility data
🔹 The ability to directly compare and pull secure images
