US patent US12743510

Techniques for improved inspection of container layers

Abstract

A system and method for detecting a cybersecurity object in operating system-level virtualization objects. The method comprises: inspecting a first image of an operating system-level virtualization for a cybersecurity object; inspecting a second image for the cybersecurity object, wherein the second image is based off of the first image; associating the cybersecurity object with the first image, in response to detecting the cybersecurity object in the first image and detecting the cybersecurity object in the second image; and associating the cybersecurity object with the second image, in response to detecting the cybersecurity object in the second image and not detecting the cybersecurity object in the first image.
