About
Chainguard makes secure building blocks for software. Dan Lorenc, Kim Lewandowski, Matt Moore, Ville Aikas and Scott Nichols founded the company in 2021. Several of the founders worked on open source security at Google, including the Sigstore project for signing software. The company works largely remotely.
Its main product is a catalog of container images, the packaged software that most cloud apps run on. Chainguard rebuilds these images from source with only the parts they need. The images are updated often, so they carry few or no known vulnerabilities. Each comes with records showing how it was built.
The company has expanded into secure versions of open source language libraries and into virtual machine images. Its customers are engineering and security teams at software companies, banks, government suppliers and other firms. These teams want to cut the time they spend patching vulnerabilities and meet security rules. Dan Lorenc is chief executive. Chainguard has raised several funding rounds and remains privately held.
