Minimus made Minimus Supply Chain Protection and minicli generally available, adding a unified set of tools to manage third-party software risk and container image configuration.
Supply Chain Protection works as a pull-through proxy for NPM and PyPI, screening public packages by popularity, commit history and cooling-off periods before they enter CI/CD pipelines.
minicli gives developers a macOS and Linux command-line tool to inspect custom image contents, manage private images and convert image recipes into YAML for automation and change control.
Together with Minimus Images, which the company says removes up to 98% of standard container base-image vulnerabilities, the launch broadens Minimus from OS package hardening into end-to-end software supply chain security.
Founded in 2022 by Twistlock founders and NIST SP 800-190 co-authors, Minimus is backed by a $51 million seed round from YL Ventures and Mayfield.
