We're thrilled to announce a strategic partnership between DX1 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 DX1'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 — DX1 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, DX1
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.
