Secure your software supply chain with Chainguard
Chainguard: The Safe Source for Open Source
Chainguard closes the secure software gap with the only continuously secure software foundation that enables your developers to start secure and stay secure. With secure-by-default container images that are continuously monitored and patched for vulnerabilities, Chainguard ensures that a world that runs on open source, runs securely.
Chainguard enables organisations to eliminate CVEs at the source, achieve full SBOM transparency, and meet compliance requirements without the noise of constant patching or scanning. Together, we help security-conscious teams shift left and secure their build pipelines from the ground up.
Whether you're adopting DevSecOps practices, modernising your container strategy, or aiming to reduce compliance risk, Somerford and Chainguard can support your journey.
