Webinar Description
What the event is about
This event is a live demonstration and discussion focused on running Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) compliance checks on Chainguard container images using Anchore Enterprise. The session addresses a key challenge: traditional STIG scanners require a shell to operate, but Chainguard images are intentionally built without a shell for security reasons. This mismatch has forced organizations, especially those pursuing Department of Defense (DoD) Authority to Operate (ATO) or FedRAMP compliance, to either weaken their hardened images or maintain separate workflows. The event showcases how Anchore Enterprise can now perform STIG checks on both shell-based and fully distroless Chainguard images without requiring shell execution. Attendees will see a live walkthrough of pulling a shell-less Chainguard image, running it through Anchore’s policy engine, and reviewing the resulting STIG audit trail, which is critical for compliance reviews.
