Where container security fits into the conversation

The friction that dominates devopsdays hallway conversations — scanner alerts, patch cycles, exception tickets — starts with the base image. When that image ships full of known CVEs, every downstream team pays the tax.

Echo removes it by making the starting point CVE-free, so pipelines begin from a clean, hardened baseline with full SBOM transparency rather than a backlog of vulnerabilities to triage. It’s the model behind our writing on AI-ready, hardened container images.
