Chainguard, a leader in secure software development and deployment, has announced the launch of its global Chainguard Partner Programme. This new initiative aims to equip channel partners with the tools necessary to deliver trusted open source artifacts, whilst ensuring robust software security.
Comprising a two-tier structure, the programme offers escalating benefits tailored to partners based on their level of engagement and impact. Incentives range from flexible technical enablement to comprehensive go-to-market strategies, aligning seamlessly with the needs of resellers and distributors.
With open source software (OSS) forming over 90% of code in modern applications, the need for secure software supply chains is paramount. Recent high-profile supply chain attacks have intensified regulatory scrutiny, highlighting the necessity for proactive risk management strategies to comply with frameworks such as FedRAMP, PCI, and NIST SSDF.
Chainguard’s trusted OSS is built upon solutions continuously rebuilt from source in hardened environments, enabling organisations to mitigate risks and maintain compliance without adding burdens to developers.
Key features of the Chainguard Partner Programme include:
Collaborating closely with major cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure, Chainguard is facilitating a new era of integrated and scalable solutions for channel partners worldwide.
Early adopters like Bytes, Defy, DevOps1, and EVOTEK are already leveraging the new programme to revolutionise their security strategies and enhance customer offerings. These partnerships underscore the global drive towards secure OSS infrastructure and the increased need for reliable software systems.
At the core of Chainguard's offering is its Containers solution, boasting over 1,500 zero-CVE container images that ensure end-to-end integrity. Powered by their bootstrapped Linux distribution, Chainguard OS, the solution promises secure, continuously updated components with transparent provenance. For partners, this promotes accelerated compliance and fortified security postures, allowing engineers to concentrate on developing faster and more securely.
