Abstract
A system and method for improving inspection of software containers is presented. The method includes detecting a plurality of configuration files, each corresponding to a software container image corresponding to a software container deployed in the cloud computing environment; parsing a first configuration file to detect a first plurality of commands; generating a first fingerprint based on the detected first plurality of commands; parsing a second configuration file to detect a second plurality of commands; generating a second fingerprint based on the detected second plurality of commands; determining that the first configuration file matches the second configuration file in response to detecting a match based on the fingerprints; determining that the first configuration file mismatches the second configuration file in response to detecting a mismatch; and inspecting the first configuration file for a cybersecurity object in response to determining that the first configuration file matches the second configuration file.
