## AI overview

Chainguard is working with Iron Bank to mirror Chainguard Images for the core Big Bang images, offering a drop-in alternative for Big Bang's secure software factory. The article reports a 100% reduction in CVEs, a 40% reduction in software components, and a 72% reduction in image size, with more than 30 images covering all eight core components.

## Source excerpt

Chainguard enhances Big Bang with secure, smaller images: 100% fewer CVEs, 40% less components, 72% size reduction for fortified security.
