🛡️ Why hardened container images are the new security standard

Security risks in modern software deployment are often hidden within container images, especially the base images used for building them. A standard Docker Hub image can contain hundreds of unnecessary packages, leading to numerous known vulnerabilities. Hardened images strip out these extra components, aiming for near-zero CVEs by design to reduce the attack surface. Vendors like BellSoft and Chainguard offer solutions, each with different approaches to achieve this security. Teams are moving toward these hardened images to avoid the endless cycle of patching general-purpose vulnerabilities. 🛡️
