For CISOs
Continuous compliance, productivity for your teams & container images that engineers will love.
Less CVEs. Continuous compliance
Global compliance frameworks are tightening vulnerability management norms.
With over 90% of your application code being open-source, CVE sprawl is real reality & managing the ever-increasing software stack makes it even tougher.
Secure Software. Unlock Revenue.
Build your application on Koala's hardened base container images and give your developers a familiar linux experience.
88% less CVE accumulation
Ensure continuous compliance
Remove 90% of your CVEs
Securely manage the tech sprawl
95% less High+Critical CVEs
Ensure no release blockers
Koala's enterprise plans offer competitive SLAs for all vulnerability management which means you will always have a version of each base container which is 0-CVE or vulnerability-free.
The hardened "out-of-the-box" advantage
KoalaLab focusses on security of the whole software supply chain that builds the secure containers. Also, adds more hardening layers on top of base container images to make KoalaLab your extended golden container images team.
Minimal Footprint
- •No package manager footprint in container image
- •No shell eliminates entire classes of attacks
Build-time SBOM
- •Precise, build-time SBOMs generated during image build
- •Accurate dependency tracking thanks to Koala's tight control over container SBOMs
User & Permissions
- •Non-root user by default
- •Root login disabled in production images
Vulnerability Management
- •Daily image scanning to identify vulnerabilities
- •Daily image builds to keep dependencies up to date
Reproducibility & Trust
- •Image Signing & Verification
- •Provenance attestation for full supply chain transparency
- •Images signed with Cosign, verifiable against KoalaLab's GitHub identity
Multi-stage Builds
- •Separate builder and production base images using multi-stage builds to produce minimal images
Familiar DevEx. easier adoption
Industry has known about minimal or distroless containers as an idea to reduce attack surface & make containers more secure but adoption across enterprises has been a huge challenge:
1. Missing toolchain for distro-less containers:
Platform engineering teams use toolchain like apt to work on base containers for custom use-cases. Missing toolchains (for distro-less containers) and/or newer ecosystem ( alpine-based containers ) made for tougher adoption.
2. Coverage across the whole cloud-native stack.
Even in cases where developers learnt the newer tooling (or made do with a lack of it), coverage across the entire cloud-native stack remained rare & or has some edgecase bugs.
Koala's containers are built on 0-deb, for the specific purpose to provide a familiar user experience for developers. c(apt)-ain is koala's adpation of apt & provides similar UX in both commands and dockerfiles; enabling a distro-like experience for enteprise centric custom use-cases while providing security of distroless philosophy.
