Chainguard vs. Minimus Comparison Chart

Minimus images radically reduce the amount of vulnerabilities that impact your cloud environment. Minimus is founded by the Twistlock team that pioneered container security and authored NIST SP 800-190. Minimus builds images from scratch, directly from upstream project sources, with only the minimal software needed to run the app, dramatically reducing their attack surface. Minimus images are OCI compliant and you deploy by changing a single line in deployment files. Minimus eliminates time consuming and low value remediation work for devs, is easy for ops to deploy and manage using their existing tools, and provides security with remarkably clear risk reduction and nearly instant time to value. Minimus solves the endless treadmill of cloud software vulnerabilities by simply preventing them from existing. Minimus provides secure, minimal container and VM images, rebuilt from scratch daily to eliminate over 95% of CVEs.
