See what our customers have to say

“It’s a remarkable thing when you introduce Chainguard Images 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 Images can do. And we would not have been able to get [to FedRAMP High] without their support.”
Brandon StearneSenior Manager of Product Security, Snowflake
“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 Images help us deliver on this mission with hardened container images that lead the market in secure software development.”
Joe McCaffreyCISO, Anduril
