Near Zero-CVE Container Images and Supply Chain Security with our Chainguard Partnership: Eliminate container vulnerabilities with hardened, pre-scanned images and cryptographic verification of software provenance.
Container images are invisible infrastructure—dependencies that run in the background, rarely examined. Yet the average container contains 100+ dependencies, many with known vulnerabilities. Traditional approaches require constant monitoring and manual patching, an endless game of catch-up as new vulnerabilities are discovered daily.
Chainguard addresses this fundamentally. Rather than starting with bloated, general-purpose base images full of unnecessary packages, Chainguard images are stripped down to contain only what your application actually needs. This dramatically reduces the attack surface before you deploy a single line of your code.
What near zero-CVE actually means
Chainguard's guarantee is specific: when you pull a Chainguard image, it has been scanned for known vulnerabilities and contains zero or close to zero with an exploitable risk factor. This doesn't eliminate the need for ongoing monitoring—new vulnerabilities are discovered daily—but it provides a secure starting point that significantly reduces day-one risk. Additionally, Chainguard's development team is also constantly monitoring and fixing CVEs.
Supply chain verification
Images flow through many systems: private registries, CI/CD pipelines, deployment tools. At each step, an attacker could inject malicious code. Chainguard images are cryptographically signed using keyless OIDC-based signing, allowing you to verify that an image:
- Came from Chainguard (authenticity)
- Has not been modified since signing (integrity)
- Can be traced to a specific build (provenance)
Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) attestations document every component in each image, enabling rapid response if a dependency becomes vulnerable.
Chainguard partnership
As official Chainguard partner we can support you through the entire process from procurement to production. Since Chainguard is US-based you can also rely on us as reseller and integrator within the EU market. Although Chainguard is US-based, you will own the hardened Docker images within your own infrastructure.
