Grype (Anchore)

About Grype (Anchore)

Grype's product generates SBOMs at every commit, build, and deployment, capturing dependencies, file metadata, licenses, and content. It scans SBOMs continuously for vulnerabilities, secrets, and malware. It adds compliance checks to build pipelines to ensure runtime environments meet formal requirements.

Used for

  • Establishing DORA, CRA, and NIS2 compliance with automated SBOM and vulnerability workflows.
  • Searching for malware signatures in container images and blocking deployment to production.
  • Identifying unencrypted secrets within files in container images.
  • Sending security or compliance finding alerts to developers in their native tooling.

Who it is for

  • Small teams or business units seeking a prescriptive deployment.
  • Centralized platform or security teams building scale-out environments.

How to evaluate Application Security

This is how the CIOPages Research Team evaluates this category. It is not an assessment of Grype (Anchore). It comes from our DevSecOps & Application Security Testing buyer guide.

25%
Finding Accuracy & Risk Prioritization
False-positive and false-negative rates on your own code; reachability analysis (is the vulnerable function actually called?); runtime/exposure context; EPSS/CVSS-based scoring; how a flood of findings collapses to a short, ranked, defensible work queue
20%
Developer Workflow Integration
Native IDE plugins, PR/MR checks and inline comments, SCM (GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket/Azure DevOps) and CI/CD integration, quality/security gates, credible one-click autofix, and how little context-switching a developer needs to remediate
20%
Scanning Coverage & Engine Depth
SAST, SCA, secrets, IaC, container, and DAST/API coverage; supported languages and frameworks; vulnerability and malicious-package intelligence; SBOM generation and open-source license analysis; scan speed on large monorepos
15%
ASPM & Consolidation
De-duplication and correlation across first- and third-party scanners, code-to-cloud/runtime context, application risk graph or single risk score per app, policy-as-code, and openness to ingesting tools you already own rather than locking you in
10%
AI-Generated Code Security
Detection of AI-assisted/AI-authored code, guardrails for coding-assistant and agentic workflows, security of LLM/MCP integrations and open-source AI models, and whether the platform keeps pace with code generated faster than humans review it
10%
Governance, Compliance & Deployment
RBAC/SSO, audit trails and attestation, policy gates mapped to PCI-DSS/SOC 2/NIST SSDF, SBOM/VEX export, SaaS vs. self-managed/air-gapped and FedRAMP options, and clean API/data export for your own reporting
