Eliminating runtime blind spots: How CleanStart and Sysdig build continuous trust across the container lifecycle

## Executive summary This whitepaper explains the container security gap between build-time and runtime, advocating a continuous trust chain by combining CleanStart’s SLSA-aligned, minimal/signed base images and provenance with Sysdig’s eBPF-based runtime visibility, detection, and enforcement; the partnership aims to reduce CVE noise, verify image integrity, prioritize in-use vulnerabilities, and provide provable software supply-chain security from source to production.
