Eliminate Vulnerabilities at the Source:

Chainguard | Catch NZ Launch
Global gold-standard security. Now available in New Zealand.
At the Chainguard | Catch NZ Launch, discover how leading enterprises are rethinking software supply chain risk — moving beyond reactive scanning and patching to proactively eliminate vulnerabilities at the source.
Secure containers. Hardened libraries. Trusted artifacts.
Exclusively in NZ through Catch Software, Chainguard empowers local teams to build faster, safer, and with complete confidence.
Significant cost savings, lower risk, proactive CVE resolution.
Exclusive for attendees!
Gain Access to Chainguard’s CVE Personalized Assessment Report – a practical analysis to understand and reduce vulnerability exposure at the container and dependency layer.
Agenda:
Join us for a delicious hosted lunch while engaging in an interactive executive discussion with peers and industry leaders.
12.30 – 2.00 pm | Executive Session & Roundtable Lunch
- The Modern Software Supply Chain Threat Landscape – Discover how open source dependencies, third-party libraries, container vulnerabilities, and AI-generated code are shaping risk.
- Secure-by-Design– the Chainguard story – Discover how Chainguard delivers containers that are secure by default, so teams can move quickly without compromising safety.
- Voice of the Customer– See how leading organisations use Chainguard’s approach to stop security problems at the source, keeping their software safe from the start.
- Peer Roundtable Discussion – Share experiences, discuss challenges, and continue the conversation over lunch with speakers and peers in an intimate, interactive setting.
Speakers:
Clarence Cheah, Regional Director APJ, Chainguard
Bryce Day, CEO, Catch Software
Get ready for:
Most organisations still rely on scanning and patching containers and language dependencies after vulnerabilities are identified. As CVE volumes grow and remediation cycles tighten, leaders are questioning whether reactive controls alone are sustainable.
This roundtable brings security and engineering leaders together to discuss how to reduce risk earlier in the lifecycle at the container and library layer without slowing engineering teams. We’ll explore what “secure by design” looks like in practice, where traditional approaches fall short, and what operational shifts are proving effective in real environments.
A candid, peer-level discussion on moving from vulnerability management to software integrity.
Who Should Attend:
- CIOs, CTOs, and Heads of Engineering
- Security leaders (CISO, Head of Security, AppSec)
- Platform & DevOps leaders
Why attend:
- Reduce risk at the source – Secure containers and libraries before vulnerabilities reach production.
- Cut CVE noise – Move beyond scan-and-patch without slowing engineering.
- Turn security into an enabler – Support compliance and growth with secure-by-design foundations.
- Connect with peers facing similar challenges – Engage in candid conversation with security and technology leaders navigating vulnerability management, compliance pressure, and engineering velocity.
