We’re building the trusted source for open source

We believe in a world where engineering teams move at the speed of innovation, confident that every line of code is secure.

We guard open source software from what could go wrong, so engineering teams can build what they want.

Building trusted open source software for a secure-by-default stack

Modern software runs on open source — and increasingly, it’s being written by AI.

Not only are developers and AI agents generating and shipping code faster than ever before, but attackers are too, exposing the limits of traditional security models that try to find and fix vulnerabilities after the fact.

The team behind Chainguard has spent decades building and securing the open source technologies that power modern infrastructure, creating and contributing to foundational projects like Kubernetes, Sigstore, Distroless, and DriftlessAF.

Today, Chainguard is building the trusted source for open source in the age of AI. From containers and virtual machines to libraries, packages, agent skills, and actions, we deliver hardened, verifiable, production-ready builds of the open source software engineers and AI systems depend on, so organizations can build faster, stay compliant, and eliminate risk.
