    If you are interested in refining your board engagement as a CISO come chat with us this February 4th at the siberX CISO Forum Canada! We'll be talking about how to make the most of your time in front of your board, common mistakes CISOs make, and how to be a credible partner your board members will seek out again and again. I'll probably also be handing out some Chainguard swag too 🐙

    A few years ago, secure container images were a niche concern. The space felt like the men’s room at a Taylor Swift concert: empty… aside from one superfan (me). Today, it’s halftime at an NBA Finals game. There’s a line outside the door, every stall is full, and suddenly, a lot of people are claiming they’ve always cared deeply about bathroom hygiene. We’ve been building containers the hard way for four years, and selling them for over two. That was back when this wasn’t a category and “secure-by-default” wasn’t a phrase people put on slides. Now the space is flooded with “zero-CVE” promises and “hardened” solutions. I wrote a blog about why that happened, why talking about “hardened containers” is the wrong conversation, and what actually needs to change if we don’t want to repeat the same mistakes on a much larger scale. The container security problem isn’t about hardening images. It’s about trusting where software comes from. https://lnkd.in/gnVxrrbb

    With the EU Cyber Resilience Act reshaping how digital products are built and secured, the expectations on software teams have never been higher. In our latest blog, we break down what the CRA means in practice and how teams can start building digital products that are secure by design, resilient, and ready for what’s coming next. 📖 Read more: https://lnkd.in/eaMTFvKn If you’re building, shipping, or securing software in the EU (or selling into it), this one’s for you. 🔐🚀 Chainguard

  • Join Patrick Smyth, Principal DevRel Engineer, to discover how teams ship AI faster with hardened containers and secure libraries. In this session, you'll learn how to: ✨ Train a model and run inference using the PyTorch Chainguard Container ✨ Reduce AI attack surface with hardened, minimal images ✨ Run AI frameworks with 0 CVEs ✨ Secure AI dependencies using Chainguard Libraries for AI applications Register: https://lnkd.in/e7s_Jdyn

  • Last year reinforced an uncomfortable truth: many of the most damaging security failures came from not prioritizing trusted systems. Build platforms, developer access, and automation now sit directly in the blast radius of modern attacks. As we kick off 2026, there’s a clear opportunity to apply consistent rigor everywhere. Here are a few security “resolutions” from Matt Moore to consider this year👇

    First panel of 2026 in the books. Joined Chainguard last week to talk about how we made security a priority at GovSignals – and why it's been huge for our growth. We started GovSignals in 2023 thinking about security from day one. Early on, it was about optionality – we chose easy-to-port, open-source tools that could deploy into highly secure environments (Supabase, Trigger.dev). Then 1.5 years in we had many mid-market and enterprise defense contractors who all said the same thing: CUI data. Some of their team couldn't use our product due to security controls. This changed our founder calculus. Security stopped becoming just risk mitigation and optionality and became a growth investment with clear ROI. We went all-in, and we achieved FedRAMP High by late last year (we're the only AI proposal platform operating at this level). We've since closed deals we never would have won otherwise – including a Fortune 500 defense contractor with +$1B in annual contract awards. Dove deep into how we invested in security in the panel. Will leave the link to it below.
