Dirac Leverages Chainguard to Accelerate Innovation with Trusted Open Source
New York, New York – December 18, 2025 – Dirac, the first and only automated work instructions platform, today announced plans to leverage Chainguard, the trusted source for open source, to bring a secure-by-default approach to its cloud and self-hosted BuildOS deployments. This collaboration allows Dirac to build with open source software that unlocks mission-critical business priorities, empowering the organization to build faster, stay compliant, and eliminate risk.
Manufacturers are adopting model-based approaches and rapidly modernizing their tech stacks, but they simultaneously face growing software supply chain risk, stricter regulatory requirements, and mounting pressure to prove security to their customers and auditors. Chainguard’s trusted open source software, which is continuously rebuilt from source in hardened environments, delivers end-to-end integrity and enables engineering teams to focus on building and delivering secure, high-impact software. By leveraging production-ready, zero-CVE container images, Dirac transforms weeks of vulnerability remediation and compliance engineering work into minutes, and delivers BuildOS in a hardened configuration that significantly reduces known vulnerabilities in its runtime environment.
"With BuildOS using Chainguard, trust is built into the platform from day one. Our teams move faster and our customers get a more reliable platform," said Matthew McSpadden, Security, at Dirac.
“Our customers build aircraft, heavy equipment, and mission-critical systems. They can’t afford fragile or insecure software in the loop,” said Fil Aronshtein, CEO of Dirac. “By standardizing on Chainguard’s secure, continuously rebuilt images, we’re raising the security bar for BuildOS and giving manufacturers a platform they can confidently run on their shop floors, in regulated environments, and across distributed plants without slowing down innovation.”
With BuildOS secured by Chainguard, manufacturers benefit from:
● Hardened BuildOS infrastructure: Core BuildOS services run on Chainguard’s minimal, continuously rebuilt container images designed to reduce the attack surface and eliminate known CVEs by default.
● Provenance and compliance-ready artifacts: BuildOS deployments inherit SBOMs, signatures, and provenance metadata from Chainguard, making it easier for manufacturers to demonstrate compliance and satisfy customer and regulatory security requirements.
● Faster, safer updates: Dirac can ship security patches and platform updates faster and more predictably, helping manufacturing IT and OT teams keep BuildOS current without disruptive, ad-hoc remediation efforts.
“Security shouldn’t be a roadblock to innovation. By adopting Chainguard, Dirac is proving you can move fast and stay secure,” said Matt Moore, Co-founder and CTO at Chainguard. “Dirac is helping manufacturers modernize with model-based, automated work instructions, and Chainguard is proud to be part of that journey by securing the open source foundation behind BuildOS.”
