Overview

The Registries module provides a centralized inventory of all container registries discovered across your environment. It enables teams to track registry sources, monitor vulnerabilities, and maintain ownership visibility for container-based assets.

  • Type (Registry)
  • Registry Value (URL / Path)
  • Environment
  • Internal Asset (Yes / No)
  • Is New

  • Department
  • Custom Assignment

Security Overview

Registries include a built-in security summary:
  • Total Vulnerabilities
  • Severity Breakdown (Critical, High, Medium, Low, Info)
  • Open vs Closed Vulnerabilities
  • Aggregate CVSS
  • Remediation Progress
  • Last Scan Date
  • Tested Status

Asset Relationships

Registries can be linked to other assets within AIM:
  • Applications
  • Repositories (e.g., GitLab repos)
  • Related infrastructure assets
This helps teams understand how container registries connect to the broader environment.

Data Sources (Adapters)

AIM integrates with external providers to discover registry data.
  • Example: GitLab Integration
  • Automatically fetches registry and repository information

Why This Matters

The Registries module helps teams:
  • Maintain visibility over all container registries
  • Identify vulnerable container sources
  • Track ownership and accountability
  • Understand relationships between registries and applications
  • Monitor registry activity and lifecycle status
