Case Study: EDB achieves faster, safer container security with echo

EDB saves 200+ hours per release with echo

EDB, a global leader in database technology, faced significant operational challenges in managing container vulnerabilities across its complex platform. The manual triage process for thousands of CVEs was a massive bottleneck, consuming hundreds of engineering hours and creating friction with customers who used different security scanners. This unsustainable approach culminated in a spreadsheet with over 18,000 vulnerabilities, highlighting the need for a new strategy and leading them to the vendor echo.

By implementing echo's secure-by-design base images, EDB rebuilt its vulnerability management around prevention rather than reaction. The solution integrated seamlessly into existing workflows, eliminating manual triage. This resulted in a 90% reduction in CVE effort, saved over 200 hours per release, and reclaimed 40% of a three-person team's time. echo enabled EDB to save $3.2 million annually and secure 100+ integrations with zero added maintenance, allowing teams to focus on innovation.
