Abstract
A system and method for detecting vulnerabilities in software containers at runtime are provided. The method includes monitoring events triggered as a result of changes to an application layer of a software container; based on the monitored events, determining if at least one file has been changed; upon determination that at least one file has been changed, scanning the at least one file to detect at least one type of vulnerability; and upon determination of at least one type of known vulnerability, generating a detection event.
