We're thrilled to announce a strategic partnership between DevOps1 and Chainguard, forging a new standard in DevSecOps: security by design, from Day 1.
In today's fast-paced software world—where open-source components account for over 90% of modern applications and threats loom at every layer—the old reactive model simply won't do. That's why, by uniting DevOps1's mission to empower secure, scalable systems with Chainguard's trusted, continuously hardened container images, we're delivering a truly secure-by-default development foundation.

With Chainguard Containers—over 1,500 zero-CVE images rebuilt daily from source, featuring signed SBOMs, FIPS-compliant cryptography, and minimal attack surfaces—DevOps1 can now drive developer velocity and safety in one bold sweep.
"Partnering with Chainguard enables us to embed robust, verifiable security ensuring a 'Start Left' posture in the development lifecycle."
Alex Rea - CEO, DevOps1
This partnership reflects our conviction that genuine innovation demands foundational integrity. We believe secure software isn't something you tack on—it's what you build from.
