scanning-container-images-with-grype
Scans container images, filesystems, and SBOMs for known CVEs with Anchore Grype, matching Syft-generated SBOM packages against NVD, GitHub Advisories, and OS-specific feeds with configurable severity thresholds and failure gates. Use when Grype or Syft is the chosen toolchain, when scanning an existing SBOM rather than an image, or when gating a build on severity. Keywords: Grype, Syft, SBOM, NVD, GitHub Advisory, --fail-on, severity threshold. Do not use when the toolchain is Trivy - use scanning-docker-images-with-trivy.

# Scanning Container Images with Grype
## Overview
Grype is an open-source vulnerability scanner from Anchore that inspects container images, filesystems, and SBOMs for known CVEs. It leverages Syft-generated SBOMs to match packages against multiple vulnerability databases including NVD, GitHub Advisories, and OS-specific feeds.
## When to Use
- When conducting security assessments that involve scanning container images with grype
- When following incident response procedures for related security events
- When performing scheduled security testing or auditing activities
- When validating security controls through hands-on testing
