Your scanner backlog grows faster than your team can triage it. A 500-finding report doesn't tell you which 12 findings actually change your risk posture. The rest is noise — packages that never run, paths that aren't reachable, components owned by someone else upstream.

The answer isn't faster patching. It's a smaller surface to begin with, plus the visibility to prove what you ship and enforce what you promise.

In this session, we'll walk through how Red Hat Hardened Images and Anchore Enterprise work together to break the vulnerability treadmill — from SBOM generation and continuous vulnerability matching in CI/CD, to policy enforcement against NIST 800-53, NIST 800-190, and FedRAMP at the gate, to audit-ready SBOM storage at promotion time.

You'll leave knowing:

• Why minimizing the image is the highest-leverage first step, and what Red Hat Hardened Images actually removes from the default attack surface
• How to run Anchore's continuous SBOM-grounded analysis across the build and registry promotion pipeline
• How policy enforcement at the gate keeps non-hardened, non-compliant images out of production
• What compliance artifact capture looks like when an auditor asks for proof

Built for security engineers, platform engineers, and DevSecOps practitioners in regulated environments — and for the compliance leaders who have to answer for what ships.
