Why PodArmor?

PodArmor helps organizations achieve a secure software supply chain. This leads to a better security posture and compliance adherence while saving engineering bandwidth used to triage and fix vulnerabilities. A few benefits of using PodArmor Images are:
  • 0 CVEs - PodArmor images are scanned for vulnerabilities and are updated regularly.
  • 24hr Remediation - We provide a 24hr SLA for remediation of any new vulnerabilities that are fixed upstream.
  • SBOMs - We provide SBOMs for all our images which can be used for compliance, auditing and transperency purposes.
  • Reduced Size - Our images are optimized for speed and size and contain only the necessary dependencies.

​
How are PodArmor Images built?

PodArmor images are built from scratch using a custom distribution of Linux. We build images in a distroless fashion, which means that we only include the necessary runtime dependencies required to run the application. This approach offers several benefits, including:
  • Improved Security: Distroless images enhance security by eliminating unnecessary components, reducing the attack surface for potential vulnerabilities. With fewer extraneous programs, the opportunities for exploitation by malicious actors are minimized.
  • Streamlined Dependency Management: Unlike traditional container images that can lead to dependency bloat, making it difficult to manage what exactly is included, PodArmor images maintain clarity by including only the essential elements required. We also ship SBOMs to maintain transparency and help dependency management.
  • Reduced Image Size: By removing superfluous OS components, PodArmor images are often much smaller compared to traditional container images.
