Time to value

Quick Setup (< 1 hour)

You can use Chainguard to replace vulnerable open source artifacts with minimal, hardened container images and packages. It provides base images rebuilt daily from source with attached software bills of materials and digital signatures to verify provenance. Engineering teams use Chainguard to eliminate CVE noise in security scanners, satisfy compliance standards like FedRAMP and SOC 2, and protect software supply chains from malware attacks. It integrates directly into standard CI/CD pipelines, container registries, and cloud infrastructure without requiring code changes.
