Chainguard, the secure foundation for software development and deployment, has announced the launch of the global Chainguard Partner Program, designed to help channel partners deliver trusted open-source artifacts to their customers.
The new programme offers a two-tier structure with escalating benefits for channel partners based on engagement and impact, as well as flexible incentives, technical enablement and go-to-market support for resellers and distributors.
As open-source software (OSS) now comprises over 90% of the code in modern applications, the need for proactive and scalable software supply chain security has never been more urgent. With a surge in high-profile software supply chain attacks like SolarWinds, Log4Shell and xz-utils, organisations are facing increased regulatory scrutiny and heightened risk exposure.
With compliance frameworks like FedRAMP, PCI, NIST SSDF, DORA, CRA and HIPAA requiring proactive risk management, and the rise of sovereign cloud initiatives, organisations need a scalable solution to meet regulatory requirements, reduce their attack surface and mitigate supply chain risks without burdening engineers. Chainguard’s trusted OSS is continuously rebuilt from source in hardened environments, delivering end-to-end integrity and enabling engineering teams to focus on building and delivering secure, high-impact software.
“We’re at a tipping point in software security. The growing reliance on open-source, coupled with the rise in sophisticated supply chain attacks, has made it clear that reactive security models are no longer enough,” said Ryan Carlson, President, Chainguard. “Organisations need to build fast, but they also need to do so securely – and that starts with trusted open source. With partners across the channel ecosystem, we’re making it easier for the world’s most innovative companies to build, deploy and innovate on a foundation that’s secure from the start.”
