DoD Data Program: Enhancing security and efficiency

“We used to spend 40–60 hours per CVE. With Chainguard, that went away almost completely...The ability to not have to worry about CVEs at all changed the game. It eliminated the developer death spiral.”
Dylan ShepardLead Engineer, Booz Allen Hamilton

Delivering innovative solutions for the DoD

Shift5 Logo
“All of the products that we sell to the government has to be FIPS compliant, which means it has to meet a certain cryptography standard. On my team, half of us were spending the majority of our time removing CVEs and creating STIGs for container images.”

Sustained cATO Readiness: Automate, secure, and stay compliant

Secure images are built from source daily, minimizing drift and reducing POA&Ms.

Optimized for ZeroTrust

Signed, verifiable attestations with end-to-end integrity for builds, tests, and distribution – enabling faster audits and defense in depth.
