Abstract

A computer executed method is presented for identifying security issues in a workload. The method identifies instance(s) of the workload and scans each instance for security vulnerabilities using hierarchical and incremental scanning. The hierarchical and incremental scan of each instance is performed by identifying as a base machine image a machine image that has previously been scanned for security vulnerabilities and that the instance originated from. The differences between the instance and the base machine image are then identified and scanned for security vulnerabilities.
