Case Study: GitGuardian achieves 99.4% fewer CVEs with Chainguard Images

Mastering secure code from the ground up

GitGuardian, a leader in software security, faced the significant challenge of managing an overwhelming number of vulnerabilities (CVEs) across its software containers. This manual, resource-intensive process created a major operational burden for its small engineering team, diverting focus from core innovation and threatening customer trust and compliance obligations, especially with major clients in regulated sectors. To address this, they turned to the vendor Chainguard and its Chainguard Images.

By adopting Chainguard Images, GitGuardian achieved a drastic 99.4% reduction in CVEs, virtually eliminating critical and high-severity vulnerabilities. The solution also resulted in a 33% reduction in image size. This allowed GitGuardian to refocus on its core business and meet its security commitments more easily. The efficiency gains from using Chainguard have freed up resources for the company to pursue new innovations in security.
