Chainguard Launches Global Partner Program to Accelerate Trusted Open Source Software Adoption
New program offers flexible incentives, technical enablement, and go-to-market support to empower channel resellers and distributors to lead in secure software delivery KIRKLAND, Wash., Aug. 13, 2025 /CNW/ -- Chainguard, the secure foundation for software development and deployment, today announced the launch of the global Chainguard Partner Program, designed to help channel partners deliver trusted open source artifacts to their customers. The new program offers a two-tier structure with escalating benefits for channel partners based on engagement and impact, as well as flexible incentives, technical enablement, and go-to-market support for resellers and distributors. The urgent need for trusted open source software As open source software (OSS) now comprises over 90% of the code in modern applications, the need for proactive and scalable software supply chain security has never been more urgent. With a surge in high-profile software supply chain attacks like SolarWinds, Log4Shell, and xz-utils, organizations are facing increased regulatory scrutiny and heightened risk exposure. With compliance frameworks like FedRAMP, PCI, NIST SSDF, DORA, CRA, and HIPAA requiring proactive risk management, and the rise of sovereign cloud initiatives, organizations need a scalable solution to meet regulatory requirements, reduce their attack surface, and mitigate supply chain risks without burdening engineers. Chainguard's trusted OSS is continuously rebuilt from source in hardened environments, delivering end-to-end integrity and enabling engineering teams to focus on building and delivering secure, high-impact software. "We're at a tipping point in software security. The growing reliance on open source, coupled with the rise in sophisticated supply chain attacks, has made it clear that reactive security models are no longer enough," said Ryan Carlson, President, Chainguard. "Organizations need to build fast, but they also need to do so securely – and that starts with trusted open source. With partners across the channel ecosystem, we're making it easier for the world's most innovative companies to build, deploy, and innovate on a foundation that's secure from the start." Key features of the Chainguard Partner Program The Chainguard Partner Program offers a two-tier structure with escalating benefits for channel partners based on engagement and impact. The program offers: Compelling and flexible incentives: Rewards across sourced deals, co-sell influence, and referrals. Robust technical enablement: Partner-exclusive training, onboarding, deal registration, lead creation tools, and participation in the Partner & Technical Advisory Council. Joint go-to-market support: Account mapping, sales enablement, marketing support, and co-branded initiatives to drive mutual growth. First-mover advantage: The opportunity to deliver a disruptive new solution category before competitors. With this new program, Chainguard is bridging the gap between traditional channel models and modern cloud ecosystems by working in close alignment with cloud service providers, including Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure. This approach empowers channel partners to offer more integrated, scalable solutions to their customers. This comprehensive structure is already resonating with the channel as early adopters begin to bring Chainguard to market. Early momentum with channel partners Early participants in Chainguard's Partner Program include Bytes, Defy, DevOps1, and EVOTEK, underscoring the global appetite for secure OSS infrastructure. These partners are leveraging Chainguard to help customers improve developer velocity, achieve faster compliance, and elevate their security posture. "At Bytes, we actively seek out vendors who disrupt conventional thinking and bring innovative perspectives to the cyber security landscape," said Luke Kiernan, Head of Cyber Security, Bytes. "From our first interaction with Chainguard, it was evident they embodied this mindset, delivering a forward-thinking, developer-first approach to securing the software supply chain. We look forward to developing our partnership and driving greater value for our customers through modern, resilient, and secure software practices." "Chainguard is solving one of the most urgent problems in enterprise technology today – securing the software supply chain without slowing down development," said Rich Douros, Chief Revenue Officer, Defy. "Their secure-by-default approach is exactly what our customers need to build with confidence and speed." "At DevOps1, our mission is to help our customers build secure, scalable systems that empower our clients to move fast without compromising security," said Alex Rea, CEO, DevOps1. "Partnering with Chainguard, the market-leading solution for software supply chain security, enables us to embed robust, verifiable security ensuring a 'Start Left' posture in the development lifecycle. This collaboration reinforces our commitment to delivering modern DevSecOps practices with confidence, integrity, and speed." "All organizations want to accelerate their software development, but they can't do that without having a way to secure the applications they're building," said Jason Myers, Chief Revenue Officer, EVOTEK. "Chainguard's approach to delivering continuously verified open source software aligns perfectly with our mission to help enterprises build secure, scalable infrastructure." Transforming how OSS is built, distributed, and secured Chainguard is changing the way organizations build with OSS by delivering trusted open source components that are continuously rebuilt from source in secure infrastructure with end-to-end integrity. At the heart of the offering is Chainguard Containers, a catalog of over 1,500 zero-CVE container images with broad customization capabilities and a reduced attack surface to improve supply chain integrity for containerized applications. As the fastest way to get a patch from source to artifact, Chainguard Containers are powered by Chainguard's bootstrapped Linux distro, Chainguard OS, and include transparent provenance, enforcement of FIPS cryptography, signed SBOMs and attestations, secure hardening, and continuous daily updates to eliminate vulnerabilities. For partners, this means offering customers a solution that accelerates compliance, strengthens their security posture, and allows their engineers to build more securely and efficiently from the start.

Opinion: A treaty beats a handshake
After what, for now, has been the most tumultuous month in Canada-U.S. trade relations, Canada emerges in a unique place among its G7 counterparts. We are the only G7 country without a new Trump trade deal. We are the only G7 member that is still retaliating with reciprocal tariffs against U.S. exports. And we have the lowest average tariff rate on our exports to the U.S. — by a long shot. How can this be? At approximately six per cent, the average tariff rate applied to Canadian goods is roughly one-third of the rate agreed to by the European Union and Japan and one-half of the U.K rate in their recent handshake trade deals with the Trump administration.

If you don't see it, please check your junk folder. The next issue of Informed Opinion will soon be in your inbox. Please try again Interested in more newsletters? Browse here. Amidst the confusion, the answer is clear. The rules-based trade framework embodied in the Canada-U.S. Mexico agreement (CUSMA) and its free trade predecessors (NAFTA, Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement) has, for now, held. Perhaps the most disturbing thing about Canada's inability to reach a bilateral deal with the U.S. last month was not the 10 per cent tariff bump on CUSMA non-compliant exports. It was the fact that Canada's negotiators did not find out until the very last minute that the CUSMA framework had survived President Trump's Sharpie in signing his July 31 executive order on Canada. In what is being called the 'CUSMA carve-out,' up to 95 per cent of Canada's non-energy exports face free or very low-tariff access to the U.S. market as long as they comply with CUSMA rules. There is a lot of confusion around CUSMA-compliant estimates at the moment, with some commentators saying the number is lower and others saying it might, in fact, go higher. The key variable at play here are CUSMA's rules-of-origin provisions. In a complicated set of rules, CUSMA accords duty-free status to exports that can demonstrate at least a majority of their content originates from one or more of the three CUSMA partners. However, compliance with these rules requires extensive paperwork and reporting. A year ago, some Canadian exporters of, say, widgets considered the expenses of complying with CUSMA's widget rules of origin to be greater than the cost of absorbing the minimal U.S. widget tariff applied to other countries shipping widgets to the U.S. This tariff, known in WTO terms as the most favoured nation rate, was on average less than two per cent for exports to the U.S. Now that this average tariff has soared to 35 per cent for Canadian widgets, exporters are reportedly scrambling to get inside the CUSMA-compliant tent to secure the duty-free access they had foregone before. The CUSMA carveout does not apply to extraordinary Trump tariff levies on key sectors of Canada's exports including automobiles (25 per cent on non-U.S. content) and steel, aluminum and copper (all at 50 per cent). Nor does it have bearing on the ever-growing levies on our softwood lumber exports which, through a process initiated under the Biden administration, is on track to face tariffs in the range of 35 per cent by the end of this year. In the topsy-turvy world of U.S. trade deals, several countries have agreed to accept tariffs at much higher levels with fewer carveouts and some extraordinary commitments. For example, at the end of July, the EU agreed to suspend over 93 million euros of retaliatory tariffs against U.S. imports in return for accepting a tariff of up to 15 per cent on its exports to the U.S. (The previous average rate had been 1.2 per cent). In addition, the EU has also agreed to buy an additional $750 billion in U.S. energy products over the next three years and make $600 billion in investments in 'various U.S. sectors' by 2029. These undertakings have been made with a handshake without any indication if the EU intends to press European enterprises that would actually be doing the business to meet these commitments. Several other handshake deals contain similar commitments — such as the U.S.'s deals with Japan ($550 billion US in investment commitments) and the Republic of Korea ($350 billion USD in investment commitments and $100 billion USD purchase of U.S. natural gas). So far, Canada has made no such commitments. Amidst the chaos of tariff changes and industry trade adjustment packages, it's sometimes hard to see Canada's CUSMA advantage. However, the advantage is real and is, for now, holding. CUSMA is a formal trade agreement not a handshake. The agreement, which came into effect in 2020, was the result of a negotiation initiated in President Trump's first term to replace NAFTA, which he had called 'the worst trade deal in history' We should be constantly reminding him that CUSMA is his agreement — the 'Art of the Deal' magician at the top of his game. Importantly, CUSMA was approved into law by the U.S. Congress in. As such, it cannot be simply torn up by a U.S. President in a foul mood — for now, at least. This shifts the focus to CUSMA's renewal, which is scheduled for a review in July 2026. At that time, the parties may recommend revisions to the agreement which, if agreed, would extend the agreement by another 10 years. If, however, any party wishes to withdraw from CUSMA they need only provide six months notice Despite being the author of the agreement, it's hard to believe that Mr. Trump will be in the mood to accept a few tweaks here and there as he arguably did in the conversion of NAFTA to CUSMA. Moreover, we are already hearing a slow and steady drumbeat that CUSMA renewal talks will be advanced — perhaps as early as the end of this year. What is apparent is that trade with our largest trading partner will be framed in the future by more complicated rules and restrictions. In addition to some tariffs, we can expect tighter rules-of-origin and more quantitative restrictions on our exports to the U.S., making trade more managed than free. The era of relatively friction-free trade and just-in-time supply lines is, for now, on a death watch. It is imperative that CUSMA can adapt to this new reality. Canada's trade negotiators will need to demonstrate a greater degree of creativity and resilience than has been needed in the ancient normal times. At the same time, we need to aggressively building a new trade profile that is more diversified and less dependent on our isolationist America First neighbour. CUSMA is Canada's most important economic agreement delivering significant benefits for an open economy such as ours. Over almost four decades of free trade, our exports to the U.S. have grown to constitute a full quarter of Canada's GDP. No small share. The world is changing rapidly and Canada needs CUSMA to safely evolve with it. We need agreed rules and commitments that can govern what will still be our largest trade relationship for a long time to come.

Martinrea International reports $38M in Q2 profit, down from last year
Martinrea International Inc. reported $38 million in profit during the second quarter, down from $40.97 million during the same quarter last year. The company reported diluted net earnings per share of 52 cents for the period. Meanwhile, adjusted net earnings per share came in at 66 cents. The Toronto-based automotive supplier said its total sales for the quarter came in at $1.27 billion, compared with $1.3 billion a year earlier. Martinrea International CEO Pat D'Eramo says the company's overall exposure to tariffs is manageable. He says USMCA-compliant auto parts being exempt from tariffs is a positive for the company. However, he says some items face tariffs, including those from its tier two supplier, as well as those affected by steel and aluminum tariffs.
