Autonomous Container
Vulnerability Remediation

Healix is designed around what we call the Hippocratic Constraint — it will never introduce a vulnerability at a higher severity than the ones it resolves. Every remediation is validated by rebuilding your image, running your test suite, and performing a post-remediation scan before anything is promoted. Your tech lead also retains final approval authority; Healix proposes, humans decide.

Scanners tell you what's wrong — Healix fixes it. Healix actually runs both Grype and Docker Scout in a dual-scanner architecture, then uses AI-augmented remediation to generate patched Dockerfiles and dependency configs, rebuilds your image, verifies nothing broke, and signs it. Scanners produce reports that pile up in backlogs; Healix closes them.

The first time Healix successfully remediates a vulnerability pattern — say, a Log4j-family CVE in a Java/Spring Boot image — it stores that strategy in a local memory store. The next time it encounters a similar base image and vulnerability signature, it retrieves the top matching patterns and feeds them into the AI context, so the second remediation is faster and has a higher first-attempt success rate. Your containers get smarter over time, just like an immune system that's already fought off a pathogen.

Healix runs entirely on your local machine as a CLI tool — it pulls from your local Docker daemon or a registry you point it at, and reads your Git repo locally. No source code or credentials are transmitted to Healix servers. The optional immune memory cloud sync is strictly opt-in and uploads only anonymized remediation patterns, not your code or image contents.

The healix compliance command generates per-image, audit-ready scorecards across 17 regulatory frameworks spanning finance (PCI DSS 4.0, SOX, DORA, GLBA), healthcare (HIPAA, FDA Premarket), US government (FedRAMP, EO 14028, NIST SP 800-190, NIST SP 800-53), EU regulation (NIS2, Cyber Resilience Act), cross-industry standards (ISO 27001, SOC 2, CIS Controls v8), insurance (NAIC), and energy (NERC CIP). Compliance scoring is always free — you'll never spend a credit to know where you stand.

Healix generates OpenVEX attestations alongside every scan, letting you formally document which CVEs are not exploitable in your specific context. These VEX documents travel with your image, so downstream tools and auditors can suppress legitimately justified findings automatically — rather than your team manually arguing the same false positive again every sprint.

Yes — native GitHub Actions and GitLab CI integration is on the near-term roadmap. In the meantime, Healix's CLI is fully scriptable and runs on the Linux environments that power virtually every CI/CD pipeline, so you can call it from any pipeline step today. CI/CD-triggered remediations will run in a non-interactive mode with configurable severity thresholds and an approval gate before any image is promoted.

Scanning, SBOM generation, and compliance reports are always free. Remediation costs one credit, charged only on success. Credits come in five packs — 1 ($5.00), 5 ($23), 20 ($83), 50 ($175), and 100 ($300) — with the per-credit price dropping from $5.00 down to $3.00 at the 100-credit tier, a 40% saving. Credits never expire. At $3.00 per remediation versus $1,000–$2,500 of manual engineering time, the ROI at volume approaches 500:1.

Healix can scan any container image you can pull. For remediation, it works best when you provide the source repository so it can regenerate a patched Dockerfile and verify your tests pass. Third-party images you don't own can be scanned and reported on for compliance purposes; for those, Healix will identify safer alternative base images you could migrate to rather than attempting to patch upstream code it doesn't control.
