Chainguard

Chainguard is at the forefront of enhancing software security in the open-source landscape. Founded in 2021 by industry veterans, Chainguard specializes in developing hardened, vulnerability-free container images designed to secure the software supply chain from the ground up. Their innovative approach emphasizes a philosophy of "Shift Left, Start Left," which integrates security measures directly into the software development lifecycle, ensuring that security is considered from the very beginning.

The secure container images created by Chainguard eliminate Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) before they can be introduced, addressing a wide array of programming languages and frameworks such as Java, Python, Go, along with notable services like Postgres and Redis. Chainguard’s solutions not only help in achieving compliance with essential standards like FedRAMP, NIST, and PCI-DSS, but also enhance developer productivity by removing friction in security processes.
