zContainer™ — Zero-CVE* Secure Runtime

Proprietary minimal-footprint containerization with zero* known CVEs. Deploy AI workloads in the most sensitive environments with unmatched security and operational efficiency.

Why Traditional Containers Fail in Sensitive Environments

Commercial containers weren't designed for federal and regulated use cases

⚠️

CVE Overload

Traditional images have 100+ CVEs requiring constant patching and creating unpredictable security postures.

📦

Bloated Attack Surface

Unnecessary binaries and libraries create security vulnerabilities and compliance headaches.

⏱️

Slow ATO Process

Large attack surfaces make Authority to Operate timelines unpredictable and expensive.

Architecture

The Zero-CVE* Architecture

How we achieve the industry's smallest, most secure container images

1. Aggressive Minimization

Trimming unnecessary components to eliminate attack vectors

  • Binary trimming (remove unused executables)
  • Library pruning (only essential dependencies)
  • Multi-stage builds (separate build/runtime artifacts)
  • Minimal base image with FIPS 140-2 crypto library embedded for strict data-at-rest and data-in-transit encryption

2. Secure Supply Chain

End-to-end provenance and integrity verification

  • SBOM Generation (software bill of materials)
  • Cryptographic Attestation (signed images)
  • Chain-of-custody tracking
  • Reproducible builds

3. Continuous Scanning & Validation

Automated security verification at every stage

  • Flexible CVE detection
  • Policy-based compliance checks (NIST, FedRAMP)
  • Runtime behavior analysis
  • Zero-day threat monitoring

Core Capabilities

Zero* Known CVEs

Upto 60% Faster Deployment

Smallest images = faster pulls, starts, and scaling

10MB vs 1GB+ images

ATO Acceleration

Reduced attack surface shortens security assessment timelines

3-6 months faster ATO

Cost Reduction

Lower storage, bandwidth, and compute requirements

Upto 40% infrastructure savings

Engineering Excellence

Technical Deep Dive

Image Minimization Process

Our multi-stage trimming removes 95% of typical container bloat

  • 1.Static analysis identifies required binaries
  • 2.Dependency graph reveals essential libraries only
  • 3.Multi-stage Docker builds separate build/runtime
  • 4.Final minimal base image with FIPS 140-2 crypto contains zero unnecessary artifacts

Result: 10-50MB images vs 1GB+ traditional containers

SBOM & Attestation

Full supply chain transparency for compliance and auditing

  • Auto-generated SBOM in CycloneDX/SPDX formats
  • Cryptographic signing with Sigstore/Cosign
  • Provenance metadata (build time, source commit, builder identity)
  • Verification at deployment (prevent tampering)

FIPS 140-2 Cryptographic Foundation

Embedded FIPS 140-2 validated crypto for federal compliance

  • Data-at-rest encryption with AES-256
  • Data-in-transit encryption with TLS 1.3
  • FIPS-validated cryptographic modules
  • Key management and rotation support

Scanning & Validation Pipeline

Multi-layer security validation before and during runtime

  • Build-time: Flexible CVE scanning
  • Pre-deployment: Policy compliance checks (NIST 800-53, FedRAMP)
  • Runtime: Behavioral analysis and drift detection
  • Continuous: Daily scans against updated CVE databases

Built for Federal & Regulated Compliance
