The cost of image vulnerability scanning depends on several factors, including the scanning tool or service used, the frequency of scans, the number of images scanned, and whether it's part of a broader security solution.
1. Pricing Models
- Free Tools: Basic open-source tools like Trivy or Clair are free but may require manual setup and lack advanced features.
- Paid SaaS Solutions: Cloud-based services often charge based on:
- Per-image scan (e.g., $0.01–$0.10 per scan)
- Monthly subscription (e.g., $10–$500+ depending on features and scale)
- Enterprise licensing (custom pricing for large-scale deployments)
2. Examples
- Small Teams: A startup scanning 100 images/month might pay $10–$50 with a basic SaaS tool.
- Enterprises: A company scanning thousands of images daily may need a premium plan (e.g., $500–$5,000+/month) with advanced threat detection and integrations.
3. Tencent Cloud Solution
