Explanation

Artifact Analysis provides automatic vulnerability scanning for container images stored in Artifact Registry, allowing visibility into known vulnerabilities before deployment. Enforcing a policy that blocks deployments when critical vulnerabilities are detected ensures that insecure images never reach the GKE production environment, providing an effective and scalable security control integrated into the CI/CD pipeline.
