“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.”
