Aqua Security announces that Aqua Trivy is now the default scanner for GitLab Auto DevOps.

"One of the primary reasons behind the default scanner change was the ease of use with Trivy compared to alternative open source scanner options," says Sam White, Sr. Product Manager at GitLab.

The partnership with Aqua Trivy will continue with roadmap plans to scan containers running in production using Trivy with Aqua Starboard, Aqua's open source Kubernetes Security toolkit.

Moving forward, both Aqua Trivy and Aqua Starboard will form a fundamental part of GitLab's Auto DevOps roadmap, enabling users with default security options.

"With the integration of GitLab with Trivy and Starboard, we're aiming to provide an 'on-by-default' type of scenario, where if you're using Auto DevOps to deploy into production, we're running those scans by default and giving you the results," said White.

"GitLab's customers now have access to the best in open source vulnerability scanning, while the Aqua Trivy community can benefit from the powerful input and feedback from GitLab and its users. We're looking forward to building the relationship further and allowing GitLab to leverage additional open source projects, like Aqua Starboard, to better schedule scan jobs in production environments."
