The Minimal Base Image Myth: What Actually Reduces Attack Surface
Alpine, distroless, and scratch images don't automatically cut risk. The real attack-surface drivers are capabilities, root filesystem, network policies, and seccomp.
Deep dives, practical guides, and incident analyses from engineers who build Safeguard. No fluff, no vendor FUD — just what you need to ship secure software.
Alpine, distroless, and scratch images don't automatically cut risk. The real attack-surface drivers are capabilities, root filesystem, network policies, and seccomp.
A working engineer's comparison of Google Distroless, Chainguard Images, and Wolfi as base images, covering what actually breaks in production and what does not.
Wolfi is not a general-purpose Linux distro. It exists to solve one problem: provide secure, minimal, up-to-date packages for container images. Here is why that matters and how to use it.
Container security matured significantly in 2021, but the vulnerability landscape in base images, registries, and runtime configurations remains concerning.
