By using prebuilt containers companies are not always sure what is inside the containers. Mirantis Secure Registry has an image scanning function. So once the container image is put on the registry, it goes through all the different layers ensuring that no vulnerabilities are contained within the image. Companies also want to ensure that only those that are authorized to access their images are doing so. Companies cannot ensure that a third-party attack will not inject anything into their environment unless they are using a private repository. The notary also ensures that the image being tested in the lower environments is the same as what is being deployed in the upper environments and into production. Kevin Ng, Solution Architect at Mirantis, goes on to discuss further what the risks are of not using a private repository.
