Security You Can't Afford to Skip
Upstream container images ship with hundreds of known vulnerabilities. Ghost delivers pre-hardened, cryptographically signed replacements built for government, defense, and regulated industries.
The Problem
Upstream Images Are a Liability
Hundreds of CVEs Out of the Box
Upstream images often ship with 200–600 known vulnerabilities. Every unpatched CVE is an open door for attackers.
Manual Patching Is Unsustainable
Tracking, testing, and applying patches across dozens of base images consumes entire security teams.
FIPS 140-2 Compliance
Government and regulated industries require FIPS-validated cryptography. Most upstream images don't qualify.
Supply Chain Attacks Are Rising
Base image poisoning is an increasingly common attack vector. Unverified images can silently compromise your entire fleet.
Air-Gapped Environments Need Pre-Validated Images
Disconnected and air-gapped environments can't pull from upstream registries. You need pre-validated, signed images ready to go.
Engineering Cycles Wasted on Infrastructure
Organizations spend months rebuilding what should be commodity infrastructure. That's time not spent shipping product.
The Solution
Ghost: Drop-In Hardened Images
Minimal CVE Exposure
Ghost images are continuously monitored and rebuilt as upstream fixes become available — keeping CVE exposure as low as possible without the manual overhead.
Cryptographic Signatures
All images are signed with Cosign. Verify authenticity before any deployment — automated, auditable, and tamper-evident.
FIPS 140-2 Validated Variants
Dedicated FIPS variants built with OpenSSL in FIPS mode. Drop-in replacements for government and regulated-industry workloads.
Full SBOM + Provenance
Every image ships with SPDX and CycloneDX SBOMs, SLSA provenance records, and OpenVEX vulnerability statements.
Compliance Evidence
Pre-mapped compliance evidence for FedRAMP, CMMC, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA. Audit-ready from day one.
Continuous Rebuild Pipeline
Ghost's automated pipeline monitors upstream sources 24/7. New vulnerability? New image. No manual intervention required.
About
Built by AlphaBravo
AlphaBravo is a platform engineering firm founded in 2018 and headquartered in Frederick, Maryland. We specialize in designing and operating infrastructure for air-gapped and disconnected environments — the places where conventional cloud tooling simply doesn't reach.
Ghost is part of the AlphaBravo product suite alongside Pioneer (infrastructure management) and Propeller (DevSecOps training). Together they give teams a complete, hardened path from development to production.
Our clients include the U.S. Navy, the Department of Defense, and U.S. Special Operations Command. We understand the compliance burden — because we live it.
