AI models like Mythos can find hundreds of vulnerabilities overnight — across thousands of projects with one maintainer and no obligation to patch anything. We're not ready for that.

Cybercrime, nation states, and AI are all changing the software supply chain. 🫠

@lorenc_dan explains how Chainguard is building the safe way to consume open source software. 🔒

@EyaWeGew Is it not a 433

[Chainguard ⛓️ @chainguard_dev]

We made Chainguard Libraries free for all console users because supply chain attacks aren't slowing down.

To get started, make an account at https://t.co/lk3k206qFa to get free access until June 30, 2026 to our malware-resistant libraries. 🧵

@talkwba My view is big Dave with a remit if you save us you can go for next year too

@EyaWeGew @Jay89R We have to allow him the time to work with the players. He has been missing three CM’s. Yes questions on the players in certain positions. Games against a team in second and one of the in form teams. Can’t condone the results or the efforts of the players but let’s be supportive

What if you could have the convenience of serverless and the confidence of a trusted, traceable image built from the ground up for security?

Spoiler alert: now you can. Say HELLO to secure Azure Functions with Chainguard Containers! 💜

🏆 INTRODUCING THE GUIDE TO GOLDEN IMAGES🏆

Also known as “universal image” or “base image” programs, organizations have long tried to create and maintain secure, standardized, and reproducible open source base and third party application images for building and running software.

The advantages for getting golden image programs right are clear:

⭐ Engineering teams can optimize costs + accelerate developer velocity
⭐ Security teams benefit from business-wide secure standardization of operating environments, security tooling, + best practices

But what starts as an effort to control drift, increase developer velocity, and improve security can end up slowing down delivery. So, we created a how-to guide to share best practices! 💜

🚚 Continuous integration and delivery
🔎 Nano updates and rebuilds
🔒 Minimal, hardened immutable artifacts
↔️ Delta minimization

Chainguard OS is the engine that powers our best in class Containers, Libraries, and VMs products. Discover more about how it works in this white paper: https://t.co/8FhfdKx3V2

🎉 How D-lightful! 🎉

Chainguard has raised a $356M Series D round co-led by new investor @kleinerperkins and existing investor @IVP, with participation from @SalesforceVC, @datadoghq Ventures, and every single other existing investor. This brings our total funds raised to over $600M, and puts us at a $3.5 billion valuation.

We’re on a mission to be the safe source for open source and build a future where security and innovation can move in lockstep. This new investment allows us to continue creating secure, easy to use products and solutions that enable that future for our users.

The momentum we’ve built over the past few years has been incredible to experience, and we’re grateful to all our customers, investors, and community for supporting us and being along for the ride. 🫶
