Secure Containers, DevSecOps, and Kubernetes for Government
AlphaBravo helps government programs ship software that is secure from the start, and builds teams that can keep it that way. We are a U.S.-owned, veteran-built company based in Frederick, Maryland. Our engineers have done DevSecOps work inside DoD programs for years. That includes work on ships, at the edge, and on networks with no internet access.
Public sector teams carry a heavy load. Nearly every mission system runs on open source. Each container image and library brings its own list of known vulnerabilities. Someone has to patch them, prove they were patched, and then do it all again next month. Programs are also short on people who know Kubernetes well. And outside help often walks out the door when the contract ends.
Ghost takes the open source burden off the program. It supplies hardened container images and libraries rebuilt from upstream source on a FIPS-enabled base. Every image is scanned, tested to confirm it still works, and signed with an SBOM. That gives authorizing officials evidence they can check. Ghost Libraries covers the top 1,000 packages each from PyPI, Maven Central, and npm. When an upstream fix lands, connected customers get a remediated image within 24 hours. Rights to delivered images are perpetual, so a funding gap does not break a running system. Navy and Space Force programs already use Ghost.
Waypoint builds the skills to run it. The three-day course is in person and hands-on from start to finish. Students work on the same Kubernetes stack their programs use. Afterward, they can keep lab access for a full year.
Our professional services fill the gaps. Forward Deployed Engineers embed with the program, on site or at sea. They build and deploy with the team, then hand off so government staff own the result. Support gives customers direct access to AlphaBravo engineers for both connected and disconnected sites.
For agencies, the payoff is fewer findings, faster authorization, less money spent on rework, and teams that need outside help less over time. AlphaBravo holds CMMC Level 2 certification and a Secret facility clearance. Our past performance spans the Navy, Air Force, and SOCOM.
Frequently Asked Questions
Ghost is a library of hardened container images and open source libraries for government programs. Each one is rebuilt from upstream source, scanned, tested, and signed with an SBOM.
Yes. Customers mirror Ghost images into their own registries, including registries on disconnected networks.
For connected deployments, Ghost delivers a fixed image within 24 hours of an upstream fix being available, at every severity level.
Government engineers and operators who need to run Kubernetes and DevSecOps tooling on their own. The course is three days, in person, and hands-on.
They work on site with your program to build and deploy the platform alongside your team. Then they hand it off so your people can run it.
