Minimus today announced the Minimus Open Source Program, an initiative to help open source maintainers strengthen the security and integrity of their software supply chains. Eligible projects will receive access to Minimus secure container images, Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) generation and analysis, and threat intelligence tooling at no cost.
Open source software underpins a vast share of the world’s critical digital infrastructure, yet most maintainers lack access to the security tooling enterprises take for granted. This program aims to close that gap, putting modern supply chain security directly in the hands of the communities that need it most.
Projects accepted into the program can integrate Minimus images into their build pipelines, immediately reducing attack surface for their users. Maintainers will also gain visibility into dependencies and potential vulnerabilities through Minimus’s threat intelligence dashboard.
The Open Source Program builds on a period of rapid growth for Minimus. Since launching publicly at RSAC in April 2025, the company has grown revenue by 285%, expanded its Image Gallery to over 1,200 hardened container images, and shipped major new capabilities, including Image Creator, which enables enterprises to build and manage their own hardened images on the Minimus platform. Minimus images are now supported by major cloud security platforms, including Aqua Security, AWS, Google Cloud, Orca Security, Snyk, and Wiz.
The program is open to open source projects using an OSI-approved license that meet minimum project health criteria. Accepted projects receive:
- Access to hardened, compliant images from the Minimus Image Gallery
- Custom image creation, Helm charts, and automatically generated SBOMs
- Real-time exploit intelligence to prioritize CVE remediation and patch efforts
- Image updates in accordance with Minimus’ commercial SLAs
Applications open March 24, 2026. Open source maintainers can learn more and apply at minimus.io/open-source
