This session was recorded on August 20, 2025 as part of Chainguard's "In Containers We Trust" tech talk series, featuring fast-paced lightning talks from across our community of developers, platform engineers, and security experts. In Containers We Trust surfaces practical insights, horror stories, and clever solutions from the world of containerized environments.
In this recording, Ray Rodriguez and Ken Leiphart from Paylocity explore how integrating Chainguard images into their starter packages is transforming the way Paylocity builds and secures software. By embedding secure-by-default container images into our development workflow, Paylocity has established a stronger baseline for software supply chain security from the outset.
Leveraging Paylocity's CI/CD environment, they're not only able to track adoption across teams, but also quantify real ROI by measuring trends like the decline in known CVEs across Paylocity's applications. This data-driven approach gives their team the visibility and confidence needed to make bold moves in their deployment strategy.
The recording also walks through how Paylocity's CI/CD pipeline enables them to globally enforce policy by restricting deployments of any workloads that aren’t built on top of Chainguard images once they reach key adoption and security inflection points. Ray and Ken discuss how automation, metrics, and secure defaults come together to elevate security standards across the org without slowing down development velocity.
