Every container.
Zero vulnerabilities.
Fully automated.

Ghost takes any container image and delivers it back hardened, signed, and attestable. No rebuilds. No new distro. No rip-and-replace.

The Problem

Every container image your team pulls from Docker Hub, GitHub, or any public registry ships with vulnerabilities. Dozens. Sometimes hundreds. Your security scanner lights up red, your compliance team blocks the release, and your engineers spend days manually patching images they didn't build.

Then next week, new CVEs drop, and you do it all over again.

Meanwhile, your competitors are shipping.

What Ghost Does

Ghost takes the exact images your teams already use and delivers them back hardened, signed, and attestable. You keep using nginx, postgres, python, node, redis. Ghost removes the risk.

Ghost performs the hardening and delivers secured images from the Ghost registry. Your teams do not operate the system. They simply pull hardened artifacts.

How It Works

See the Ghost workflow in action. Select an image and watch vulnerabilities disappear.

Ghost Demo

Select a container image from your stack:

nginx
:latest
postgres
:16
python
:3.12
node
:20-alpine
redis
:7
ubuntu
:24.04
nginx:latest Vulnerabilities Found
12
Critical
34
High
67
Medium
89
Low
Total vulnerabilities 202

This is the current state of the image pulled from a public registry. Your security scanner would flag this for remediation.

The hardened image is signed, includes a full SBOM, and ships with compliance documentation. Same functionality, zero known vulnerabilities.

What You Get

Hardened images at every tier. Every current tier ships with a -dev variant for development parity.

Base Available

Scanned, signed, with full SBOM and provenance. The foundation for secure container operations.

Hardened Available

All known vulnerabilities patched using native package managers. Same compatibility, fewer risks.

Minimal Available

Attack surface reduced. Unnecessary packages stripped. Only what your application needs to run.

Zero Available

AI-assisted remediation targeting complete CVE elimination. The highest level of hardening.

FIPS Planned

FIPS 140-3 validated cryptography for federal and regulated workloads.

STIG Planned

DISA STIG-aligned hardening with OSCAP compliance scoring.

Compliance That Proves Itself

Ghost generates audit-ready reports mapped to compliance frameworks. Not checkbox PDFs, but evidence-backed control mappings tied to exactly what was done to each image.

When your auditor asks "how do you know this container is secure?" Ghost gives you the answer, with cryptographic proof.

SOC 2 HIPAA FedRAMP PCI-DSS CMMC

Included with every image

  • SLSA provenance documentation
  • OpenVEX vulnerability documents
  • Cosign cryptographic signatures
  • Software Bill of Materials (SBOM)
  • Evidence-backed control mappings

CVE SLA Guarantees

Ghost doesn't just patch once. It monitors, tracks, and enforces remediation timelines.

Critical CVEs

Remediated under defined SLA tiers

High Severity

Addressed within defined windows

Continuous Rebuild

New disclosures caught automatically

Full Tracking

Breach alerting and MTTR reporting

Who Ghost Is For

Platform Engineering Teams

Who maintain internal container platforms and are tired of manually triaging scanner output for images they didn't build.

Security and Compliance Teams

In regulated industries who need provable, auditable container security posture. Healthcare, financial services, government, defense.

DevOps Leaders

Who want to give developers the images they want to use without compromising the organization's security standards.

CISOs

Who need to answer board-level questions about supply chain security with something more concrete than "we're working on it."

Why Ghost

Ghost doesn't ask you to change your stack. It secures the stack you already have.

The Bottom Line

Your containers have vulnerabilities. You know it. Your scanners know it. Your auditors know it.

Ghost makes that problem disappear. Automatically, continuously, provably. So your team can focus on building instead of patching.

Ghost. Invisible security for every container you run.
