Zero CVEs at Delivery: Why Container Security Belongs in the Supply Chain
Red Hat, Wednesday, October 7th, 2026
Red Hat explains why it built Red Hat Hardened Images to deliver containers with zero known CVEs.
A Red Hat engineering director uses his own long-running open source app to show how unmaintained container images silently accumulate vulnerabilities.
The National Vulnerability Database recorded 87,487 CVEs in the last 12 months, roughly 240 per day and an 82% increase over the prior year, and packaging a simple utility in a standard Linux image imports hundreds of unused packages.
Red Hat built Red Hat Hardened Images to keep containers secure without hours of manual patching.
