Distroless image security trend report
Distroless adoption is up nearly 3x since 2024, but Safeguard's 2026 scan data shows SBOM gaps, missed dependencies, and inflated CVE lists still undermine the hardening it promises.
Kubernetes Helm chart vulnerability trends
New Safeguard research finds most public Helm charts ship risky defaults and stale image pins—here's what the data shows and how to fix it.
Docker Scratch Image: The Security Case for Empty Bases
A Docker scratch image starts from nothing, and that emptiness is the point: no shell, no package manager, and almost no CVEs for a scanner to find.
Docker Security Scanning: How to Find Vulnerabilities in Your Images
Docker security scanning inspects your container images for known-vulnerable OS and application packages before they reach production. Here is how it works and how to wire it into your pipeline.
