Registry Scanning Support Matrix

AccuKnox seamlessly integrates with popular container registries like Docker Hub, Nexus, GCR, and ECR, enabling users to onboard and scan their registries automatically. Once scanning completes, results are displayed on the Registry Scan Dashboard with prioritized findings for quick remediation.

The detailed view provides insights across four tabs—Vulnerabilities, Resources, Sensitive Data, and Layers—to help users analyze and address issues effectively.
