    "excerpt": "The company's build velocity is accelerating faster than ever, with its container image catalog reaching more than 3,000 unique container images and 675,000 image variants KIRKLAND, Wash. , Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Chainguard , the trusted source for open source, today announced it has surpassed 1 billion unique container build manifests, the artifacts generated every time a new image in its catalog is built, updated, or patched. With this news, the company has doubled its total build volume from 500 million in just six months. Chainguard has also reached 3,000 unique container images in the Chainguard Containers catalog, adding 1,000 additional images in the same timeframe. Together, these milestones demonstrate the company's engineering rigor and the impact of its automated software factory , built specifically to accelerate output over time, at a moment when AI is redefining the speed of software supply chain attacks. Keeping pace with AI-accelerated attacks It used to take a human attacker days or weeks to find a vulnerability and build a working exploit. AI has collapsed that timeline and can scan source code and dependencies, chain vulnerabilities together, and weaponize them into new, complex exploits in just hours, often before a fix for specific vulnerabilities reaches the public. As that window continues to collapse, and the time attackers need approaches zero...",
