Everything you need to ship secure software

Minimal images, maximum flexibility, fastest path to deployment.

Security

Zero-CVE images, rebuilt daily

Every image is scanned, hardened, and shipped clean. If a CVE drops at 3am, we're already patching, so you don't have to.

  • 24 hour SLA for critical and high CVEs on KEV; 48 hours for all other critical and high
  • Continuous scanning across thousands of images
  • SBOMs and signatures for every build
Efficiency

A fraction of the size, none of the bloat

Strip everything non-essential. Smaller images mean faster pulls, fewer dependencies, and a dramatically smaller attack surface.

  • Often 95% smaller than standard images
  • Image creator to customize images if you need to, optimized for agents and automation
  • Faster CI/CD and cold starts
Compliance

Audit-ready from the start

FedRAMP, NIST 800-190, SLSA Level 3, SBOM, CIS, and FIPS. Every image, every build the work auditors ask about? Already done.

  • FedRAMP-ready images out of the box
  • SBOM + provenance attestations included
  • Continuous SLSA Level 3 compliance

Adoption

Change one line. That’s it

Minimus images are API-compatible with what you already run. Update your Dockerfile, rebuild, and ship. No refactoring, no surprises.

  • Drop-in replacements for standard base images
  • Continuously maintained Helm charts to deploy complex apps with multiple images
  • Agent ready with prebuilt skills, prompts, agent config files, and CLI tools so agents can help you migrate and deploy

Loved by security and platform teams

"Minimus solves the ultimate trade-off in cloud development. By stripping away legacy bloat and pre-installed tools, they deliver a hardened, distroless foundation that eliminates CVE noise without slowing developers down. It proves you can achieve top-tier security compliance while actually accelerating engineering velocity."
"With Minimus, we’ve drastically minimized our attack surface and reduced container CVEs to near zero without slowing down our development cycles. It gives our engineering team the peace of mind to ship code fast, knowing our foundation is inherently secure."
"As AI accelerates the threat landscape, legacy security models are falling behind, forcing organizations to change their approach. If you are looking for a way to make that transition, Minimus is a solution to consider trying out. Their secure-by-design model deprives attackers of their favorite tools, providing the clean foundation teams need to target a near-zero CVE posture right from the start."  
"Balancing rapid innovation with rigorous cybersecurity standards is a constant challenge. Minimus solves this by delivering secure, hardened container images right out of the box, ensuring infrastructure remains lean, compliant, and highly resilient."
"Minimus eliminates the container vulnerability problem at the source rather than giving engineers an endless list of alerts to triage. Their minimal, distroless images fundamentally break the attacker's operational path while giving software teams their time back."
"Security should be built in, not bolted on. Partnering with Minimus let us stop playing whack-a-mole with inherited vulnerabilities and start delivering a genuinely cleaner, safer foundation for every customer running Camunda in their own environment."
