Use of AI in container workloads is growing — but security is not native. That makes additional controls essential. Here’s what you need to know.

These include compiled binaries, libraries, container images, configuration files, documentation, and other files required to deploy or distribute an application. Build artifacts are the tangible results of source code and dependencies transformed into runnable or installable formats.
They are central to software delivery pipelines and often packaged and stored in artifact repositories for distribution or further testing.
Build artifacts are the exact components that get delivered to production. If they are compromised, misconfigured, or unverified, they can introduce:
Securing and validating artifacts is essential for:
The build process typically includes the following stages:
Each build may produce multiple artifacts depending on platform targets, configurations, or languages use
Concept | Description | Differences from Build Artifacts |
---|---|---|
SBOM | A manifest listing software components | SBOMs describe the contents; build artifacts are the outputs |
Binary Scanning | Analysis of compiled code for risks | Scanning happens on artifacts to validate them |
Artifact Repository | A storage system for build artifacts | The repository holds and manages the artifacts |
