Slim AI automates container vulnerability removal to secure software supply chains
Summary
Slim.AI said its updated platform adds more security features, including automated container optimization tooling, and creates a better developer experience, with a focus on teams and organization use cases. Constellation Research Inc. analyst Holger Mueller said containers have become the most popular way for developers to deliver the code that runs modern applications, but as with every new technology it comes with risks and downsides. This is the kind of automation that’s necessary to increase developer velocity and reassure companies they can operate their applications safely in containers.” Slim.AI said it has worked closely with the data protection startup BigID Inc. to implement its new tooling. BigID sells software that assists companies in securing customer data in order to satisfy privacy regulations, and so it’s essential that the containers it uses are free of vulnerabilities, hardened for production and fully transparent. As such, BigID is leveraging Slim.AI to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities to ensure its containers are as safe as possible, removing unnecessary code, binaries and files and documenting these steps before they’re moved into production.
