Container Security
Echo Containers
CVE-free container base images that drop into existing Dockerfiles, with auto-patching and SLAs.
Echo Containers Overview
What it does
The platform delivers CVE-free container base images rebuilt from source as drop-in replacements for upstream Docker images. Teams change a single Dockerfile FROM line to migrate, and vulnerability counts drop to zero on first scan without application refactoring. Images run on Echo OS, a Debian-aligned Linux distribution using apt and glibc, and ship in a default variant with shell and package manager plus a mini variant stripped of both for production runtimes. FIPS and STIG variants sit in the core catalog.
How it works
AI agents monitor CVE disclosures, rebuild affected images from source, and apply selective patches or backports so workloads stay on pinned versions without forced upgrades. Critical and high severity issues are triaged within 24 hours and fixed within 7 days, medium and low within 10 days, under a published SLA. Images are built in a Supply-chain Levels for Software Artifacts (SLSA) Level 3 pipeline, signed with Cosign and Sigstore, and shipped with SPDX and CycloneDX Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs), provenance, and Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange (VEX) data that scanners read through Echo's advisory feed. Customer registries pull patched versions automatically.
Credentials and traction
Echo holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certifications, published through its SafeBase trust center, and its FIPS images use CMVP-validated FIPS 140-3 cryptographic modules with DISA STIG hardening. The company is a CVE Numbering Authority (CNA) and was named to Notable Capital's Rising in Cyber 2026 list, selected by roughly 150 CISOs. Customers include UiPath, which eliminated exposure to more than 10,000 CVEs, plus Varonis, EDB, Port, Klaviyo, Vectra AI, WalkMe, and Webflow; total funding exceeds $50 million.
Key Capabilities
mapped to solution categoriesShips image variants pre-hardened against DISA STIG baselines with GPOS STIG configuration for federal and DoD workloads.
Signs image manifests with Sigstore/Cosign or Notary v2, enabling downstream consumers to verify image integrity and provenance before deployment.
Provides distroless image variants that contain only the language runtime and application binary, no shell, no package manager, no /tmp. Eliminates entire classes of post-exploitation tooling.
Publishes the vendor's security advisories into third-party scanner vulnerability databases so scanners recognize patched packages without VEX overrides.
Contractual triage and fix windows by severity (for example 24-hour triage, 7-day fix for critical and high) published as a legal SLA.
Uses FIPS 140-2 or 140-3 validated cryptographic libraries in all TLS and crypto operations, required for FedRAMP, DoD, and other federal workloads.
Applies CIS Docker Benchmark and CIS Kubernetes Worker Node Benchmark controls to base images, removing unnecessary packages, setting secure defaults, and configuring file permissions.
Builds images with only the application runtime and required dependencies, eliminating shells, package managers, and debugging tools that expand the attack surface.
Monitors managed SBOMs against the NVD, OSV, and vendor advisories, alerting when newly published CVEs match components in any tracked SBOM.
Continues rebuilding and patching images for upstream versions past end of life so legacy workloads keep receiving fixes.
