Atomicjar provides Docker Hardened Images—open‑source, ultra‑minimal, distroless container base images that are continuously rebuilt to reduce attack surface and eliminate up to 95% of known CVEs. Each image includes a full SBOM, SLSA Level 3 provenance, and cryptographic signing, while enterprise add‑ons offer SLA‑backed vulnerability remediation, compliance certifications, and multi‑year lifecycle support for end‑of‑life images.

Problem
Software supply chains often rely on publicly available container images that contain unnecessary components, outdated dependencies, and unpatched vulnerabilities, leading to high CVE exposure and compliance risks. Maintaining secure, up-to-date images across multiple environments requires significant effort and expertise, especially for long‑lived or end‑of‑life applications.
Solution
Atomicjar offers Docker Hardened Images (DHI), a catalog of open‑source, Apache 2.0‑licensed container base images that are continuously rebuilt through a hardened pipeline. Each image is ultra‑minimal and distroless, reducing the attack surface by up to 97 % and eliminating up to 95 % of known CVEs before they reach production. The images include complete SBOMs, SLSA Level 3 provenance, and are signed for verifiable integrity. Users can start with free, trusted images and optionally add enterprise extensions such as SLA‑backed CVE remediation, compliance certifications (FIPS, STIG), and extended lifecycle support for images that have reached upstream end‑of‑life.
Target Audience
Developers, DevOps engineers, and security teams in organizations of any size that need reliable, low‑risk container bases, as well as enterprises requiring compliance‑ready images and extended lifecycle support.
