C1 SmartContainer VR

End-to-End Container & DevSecOps Vulnerability Intelligence Inside ServiceNow VR

C1 SmartContainer VR extends ServiceNow Vulnerability Response into the containerized world — integrating Git, CI/CD, and container registries to map the full lineage from code commit → pipeline → image → running workload. It enables true shift-left detection, policy-driven enforcement, automated remediation routing, and compliance-aligned reporting for modern DevSecOps environments.

Key Benefits

  • Full visibility from code commit to running container
  • Shift-left vulnerability detection at repo and build stages
  • Automated routing to the correct DevOps team
  • Inherited vulnerability tracing from base images & layers
  • CI/CD policy enforcement and build gating
  • Real-time dashboards for exposure and remediation velocity
  • Compliance mapping for FedRAMP, GovRAMP, StateRAMP, NIST, ISO, SOC2, PCI

Why This Product Matters

Modern applications are built on containers — but traditional vulnerability tools cannot connect the dots between source code, CI/CD pipelines, registry images, and runtime workloads. Security teams struggle to identify true ownership, correlate inherited risks, or enforce policies before deployment.

C1 SmartContainer VR solves this by unifying DevSecOps pipelines with ServiceNow VR.

It maps every vulnerability to a specific repo, team, pipeline, and container image — while identifying inherited risks from parent images and OS layers. CI/CD gates block non-compliant builds, and DevOps teams receive the right tasks automatically.
Dashboards reveal exposure across clusters, namespaces, workloads, and runtime environments. For regulated organizations, findings can auto-generate POAM updates and align to IRM controls.

The result: faster remediation, fewer production exposures, and stronger governance across all container workloads.

Capabilities

Code-to-Runtime Lineage
Commit → pipeline → container image → running workload, all traced inside VR.

Git Integration
GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure Repos — vulnerabilities linked to commit authors and repo owners.

CI/CD Security Gates
Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, Bamboo — block builds that violate policies.

Container Registry Integration
ECR, ACR, GCP Artifact Registry, Docker Hub, Harbor — ingesting full image/layer metadata.

Inherited Vulnerability Mapping
Tracks vulnerabilities inherited from: base images, OS layers, parent → child images

Automated Vulnerable Item Creation
Findings map directly to repos, pipelines, teams, and workload CIs.

DevOps Ownership Routing
Assigns remediation tasks based on repo, pipeline, or code-owner metadata.

SmartThreat KEV/Zero-Day Prioritization
Highlight risks based on KEV, exploitability, and severity.

Compliance Integration
Maps vulnerabilities → IRM controls → risks → POAM entries (FedRAMP/GovRAMP/StateRAMP/etc.).

Dashboards & Analytics
Exposure by cluster, namespace, repo, image; remediation velocity; pipeline compliance.

How It Works

  1. SmartContainer VR ingests repo, pipeline, and registry metadata
  2. Vulnerabilities map to images, layers, commits, and workloads
  3. CI/CD pipelines enforce policies based on VR intelligence
  4. VR creates targeted Vulnerable Items with DevOps-based ownership
  5. Dashboards visualize exposure, inherited risk, and KEV impact
  6. Optional compliance pack generates POAM updates and regulatory mapping

Who It’s For

  • DevSecOps Leaders
  • SecOps & Vulnerability Response Teams
  • Cloud Security Architects
  • ServiceNow VR Owners
  • CTO / Platform Engineering Leadership
  • Compliance & IRM Teams in regulated industries

Use Cases

Shift-Left Detection
Scan dependencies before images or builds are produced.
Outcome: Fix vulnerabilities at commit time, not in production.

Container Lineage & Inherited Risk Mapping
Reveal where vulnerabilities originate and which images inherit them.
Outcome: Fix once, eliminate repeated work across child images.

CI/CD Enforcement
Block builds that include high-risk vulnerabilities or KEVs.
Outcome: Hardened pipelines and fewer production exposures.

DevOps Owner Routing
Use commit metadata to send tasks to the correct team.
Outcome: Faster MTTR and less friction between Security and DevOps.

Compliance-Aligned Container Governance
Auto-generate POAM entries; map findings to controls and risks.
Outcome: Audit-ready reporting for FedRAMP, GovRAMP, StateRAMP, NIST, ISO, PCI.

Unified Image & Runtime Visibility
Correlate images to real workloads running across clusters.
Outcome: Know exactly where vulnerabilities exist — and where to fix them first.

Why C1Secure

SmartContainer VR closes the gap between DevSecOps and ServiceNow VR, giving organizations full lineage, automated enforcement, precise ownership, and regulated-compliance intelligence for container workloads.

It transforms container security from guesswork into a clean, governed, end-to-end process.
