Case Study: Canva eliminates container CVEs and Python supply chain risk with Chainguard

Canva protects 260M monthly users with Chainguard

Canva, a platform serving 260 million monthly users, faced significant supply chain security challenges. Their large engineering organization was burdened by constant CVEs in upstream container images and the insidious risk of malicious Python libraries, creating reactive security toil that pulled focus from higher-value work.

Chainguard provided a solution with its Containers and Libraries, which start from a trusted source rather than trying to sanitize untrusted components. The results included a dramatically shrunken attack surface, invisible quality improvements for developers, and a stronger security posture that has become a competitive advantage for Canva, all achieved without disrupting the developer experience.
