Containers are the foundation of modern applications. They’re fast, portable, and make deploying code at scale easier than ever. But the more containers you build and run, the harder it becomes to see what’s actually going on inside them. That’s a problem for both platform and security teams.
It’s not enough to know if an image has vulnerabilities. You need to know where it’s running, how many containers depend on it, and whether it’s been scanned at every stage of its lifecycle. Without that context, you’re left guessing about your real risk.
That’s why we’ve rebuilt the container image page in Wiz. It gives you full visibility from build to runtime, with the context you need to act fast and with confidence.
The Visibility Gap That Slows Teams Down
If you’re responsible for securing containers, you’ve probably faced these challenges:
You don’t always know which base images are introducing risk, or where they came from.
Even when you find a vulnerable image, figuring out where it’s deployed and how many services rely on it is like detective work.
Scans happen at different stages (pipeline, registry, runtime), but keeping track of when and where an image was last scanned is messy.
Some registries in your cloud might exist without you even knowing.
This lack of visibility creates friction. Security teams waste time chasing issues without clear priorities. Platform teams get flooded with noise instead of insights. Everyone stays in reactive mode.
The New Wiz Container Image page: Complete Visibility and Context
We designed the new Wiz container image page to cut through the noise and give teams the visibility they need to stay ahead.
Here’s what’s new:
Instantly surface risky base images. Understand which images are introducing vulnerabilities and trace their origins.
Know exactly where your images are deployed. See how many containers rely on an image and which environments are affected — so you can understand the blast radius of any issue.
Track scanning across every stage. Validate whether an image was scanned in CI, in the registry, and at runtime — and spot any gaps in your policies.
Discover every registry in your cloud. Wiz automatically uncovers all registries, ensuring nothing is left unmonitored.
This isn’t just a list of vulnerabilities. It’s a full map of how your images move through your environment, with the context to prioritize and fix what matters.
How Teams Are Using It
1.Full Lifecycle Visibility
Follow an image’s journey from build to production. Was it scanned in CI? Rescanned in the registry? Is it still running in prod? All of this is surfaced in one place, so you can validate security gates and close gaps before they become incidents.
2. Prioritize Risks Based on Blast Radius
Not every CVE is urgent. Wiz shows you which images are deployed across critical workloads and how many containers depend on them — helping teams focus on the risks that could cause real impact.
3. From Image to Code: Fix Faster
When Wiz finds a vulnerable image, it traces it back to the source repo, Dockerfile, and build pipeline. Teams can quickly identify ownership and fix issues without the usual finger-pointing.
From Complexity to Clarity
Container security doesn’t have to mean sifting through endless lists of vulnerabilities. With Wiz, you get the complete picture — from the base image to production workloads — and the context to act on what matters most.
