June 16, 2025 — In a year where software supply chain attacks have skyrocketed, Triam Security has emerged as a clear leader with its flagship solution CleanStart, which today was named winner in the Software Supply Chain Security category of the 2025 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards.
CleanStart is redefining how organizations secure their CI/CD pipelines by delivering near zero-CVE, STIG-hardened, and FIPS-compliant container images built for modern DevSecOps. At just, these containers are up to 90% lighter than public images—yet fully secured, digitally signed, and production-ready out of the box. The result is faster deployments, reduced attack surface, and compliance without friction.
“We congratulate Triam Security for your outstanding achievements in the ‘Software Supply Chain Security’ category of the 2025 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards,” said Holger Schulze, founder of Cybersecurity Insiders and organizer of the awards. “With over 600 entries across 300+ categories, the competition was intense this year. As we celebrate 10 years of honoring cybersecurity innovation, your work stood out for its innovation, impact, and forward-thinking approach—a true model of excellence in a critical and fast-evolving domain.”
Founded by cybersecurity veterans Nilesh Jain, Vijendra Katiyar, and Biswajit De, Triam Security focuses on removing security as a barrier to innovation. CleanStart shifts the paradigm from reactive vulnerability patching to proactive risk
elimination—ensuring developers can move fast without leaving security behind.
“With CleanStart, we’re engineering the future of software supply chain security—where every container image is born secure, lean, and traceable by design” said Nilesh Jain, CEO and Co-founder of Triam Security “This is how software security should work in 2025: invisible, integrated, and engineered for speed
