Proven engineering success

We know what it takes to adopt minimal container images, eliminating 1,000 hours of engineering work per year per image for hundreds of organizations.

Built securely from the ground up

When engineering teams ship more code with AI, every open source artifact expands the attack surface. Building from source in a SLSA L3-compliant Factory is how Chainguard ensures that every line is verified, hardened, and traceable.

Focus and scale you can count on

Our sole focus is being the trusted source for open source, so your engineering team can focus on its mission, helping you unlock significant revenue and reach strategic goals faster.

"Chainguard has become a key weapon in our arsenal of tools we use against the security threats that are out there. It’s helped us stay ahead of emerging threats, including those amplified by AI, and frees our teams to focus on delivering enterprise innovation instead of chasing vulnerability noise.”

“We no longer need to ask how we fix a vulnerability — just whether we’re on the latest Chainguard version. That shift has completely changed our operational overhead and frees up a lot of capacity for both our engineering and security teams to move faster.”

Pascal Nijhof
Senior Manager, Cloud Platform & DevOps

"At Snap, security is critical to maintaining the trust of our users and ensuring the integrity of our application. Chainguard's secure container images help to drive down vulnerabilities and provide us with a solid technology foundation. This, in turn, enables us to focus on scaling and innovating rapidly to deliver new features and experiences for our users."

“Anduril is redefining what defense contractors look like, in part by implementing commercial technology and moving at the pace of relevance. Doing so while remaining compliant in a highly regulated environment is extremely challenging. Chainguard [Containers] help us deliver on this mission with hardened container images that lead the market in secure software development.”

“Our partnership with Chainguard enabled us to meet or exceed the rigorous standards required in highly regulated industries and government sectors where we serve our customers. By reducing the burden of patching and hardening associated with managing supply chain risks, we can increase our developers' focus on driving innovation in support of our customers' missions.”

“It's a remarkable thing when you introduce Chainguard [Containers] and see the vulnerability count plummet. Watching various applications go from hundreds or even thousands of vulnerabilities down to zero overnight is a really powerful testament to what Chainguard [Containers] can do. And we would not have been able to get [to FedRAMP High] in time without their support.”
