What is Minimus?

Minimus is a next-generation security solution offering radically minimal container and virtual machine images that significantly reduce vulnerabilities in cloud environments. Developed by the Twistlock team—the pioneers of container security and authors of the authoritative NIST SP 800-190 guidance—Minimus builds its images entirely from scratch using only the essential upstream components required to run your application. This approach drastically minimizes the attack surface compared to traditional container images packed with unnecessary software. The OCI-compliant Minimus images integrate seamlessly into existing deployment workflows, requiring only a single line change in your deployment configuration to adopt. Minimus eliminates the burden of frequent, low-value vulnerability remediation, freeing developers to focus on innovation while operations teams easily deploy and manage secure images using their existing tooling. The platform offers transparent, measurable risk reduction and delivers near-instant time to value after deployment. Rebuilt daily, Minimus images proactively remove over 95% of known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), effectively preventing vulnerabilities from entering your cloud infrastructure. This eliminates the exhausting cycle of patching and vulnerability management typically associated with container security. By preventing vulnerabilities from existing in the first place, Minimus empowers organizations to secure their cloud-native applications efficiently and effectively. It’s a revolutionary solution for teams seeking to strengthen their cloud security posture while simplifying operations and accelerating delivery.
