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

This whitepaper explains how CleanStart and Sysdig combine hardened, near‑zero‑CVE base images, SLSA-aligned provenance, SBOMs, and signature verification with eBPF/Falco-powered runtime detection and prioritization to close the gap between build and production. It outlines common supply-chain and runtime risks, emphasizes in-use vulnerability context to reduce noise, and describes a continuous trust loop enabling verified deployments, risk-based gating, and runtime-to-build feedback for provable container security.
