The safe source for open source
Build with secure, minimal container images
About Chainguard
Open source has taken over the world of software development. However, the largest trade off still persists, security. Companies spend an enormous amount of time and resources patching and fortifying open source software in order to ship with confidence and compliance.
Founded by the industry's leading experts on open source software, security and cloud-native development, Chainguard has built the largest library of open source software that is secure by default, and enterprises across all industries rely on Chainguard to build securely with hardened, minimal container images.
- Build, ship, and run secure software with hardened, minimal container images that receive rapid updates.
- Bake software supply chain security controls into everything you build and run in production.
- Get detailed provenance data so you can easily answer any security audit question about the software in your stack.
- Fortify, comply and conquer vulnerability compliance requirements.
“Adoption of Chainguard Images has transformed the way our team builds securely with open source software across the organization and has helped to streamline and strengthen our FedRAMP certifications by providing fast open source vulnerability remediation.”
"In a matter of months, we went from an ever-increasing number of CVEs to nearly zero critical vulnerabilities in our products. We spend about 90% less time mitigating and patching vulnerabilities. Without Chainguard, it would’ve taken a fully-staffed, full-time engineering team to provide the same service — if they could even do it.”
CVE Management is Painful. Find Out Why.
Research from Chainguard found that organizations across industries like government and financial services spend thousands of hours on vulnerability management tasks, including scanning for, triaging, and remediating CVEs
Key findings include:
- CVEs cost time and resources: Thousands of hours annually are spent on CVE management.
- Remediation is challenging: CVE remediation time depends on the ease of upgrading and testing software, coupled by developers often prioritizing convenience over the number of CVEs in container images.
- The CVE productivity hit: Time spent on CVE management not only drains resources but also affects developer productivity and the ability to focus on critical business tasks like supporting customers
