What is Clair?

Clair is an open-source vulnerability scanner for container images, developed by CoreOS (now part of Red Hat). It's favored by enterprises and organizations for its ability to analyze container images and detect known security vulnerabilities. Before implementing Clair, organizations may struggle with identifying vulnerabilities in their container images. After adoption, they gain some ability to scan for known vulnerabilities, many users recommend using multiple scanners for better coverage, as different tools often find different vulnerabilities.
