Chainguard and DevOps1 team up to forge a new standard in DevSecOps: security by design

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.

Chainguard

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.

Why This Partnership Matters

  • Zero-CVE Container Images: Chainguard's 1,500+ container images are rebuilt daily from source, ensuring minimal vulnerabilities and maximum security from the ground up.
  • Signed Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs): Complete transparency and traceability of all components, enabling better risk assessment and compliance.
  • FIPS-Compliant Cryptography: Meeting the highest standards for cryptographic security, essential for enterprise and government deployments.
  • Minimal Attack Surfaces: Distroless and hardened images that reduce potential vulnerabilities by removing unnecessary components.
  • Developer Velocity: Security that doesn't slow down development, but enhances it with trusted, ready-to-use foundations.
