Software supply chain security for DoD

Hardened software for defense and federal programs.

AlphaBravo hardens the open source your programs build on, keeps mission platforms compliant in the field, and trains your team to run them. Our engineers stay with you from first install to handoff.

Capabilities

Three products. One team behind them.

Each product solves one part of getting software into a mission environment and keeping it there. Most programs start with one and add the others.

Ghost

Hardened container images and open source libraries

Ghost rebuilds the container images and libraries your programs depend on from upstream source, on a hardened, FIPS-enabled base. Each one is scanned, tested so it still works, and signed with an SBOM before delivery.

What we deliver is yours to keep. Rights are perpetual, so a lapsed contract or a stalled budget does not shut anything off.

Ghost details at seeghost.dev →

Coverage: Hardened images plus the top 3,000 libraries from PyPI, Maven Central, and npm
Base: FIPS-enabled
Evidence: Signed artifacts with SBOMs
Rights: Perpetual

Pioneer

Runtime compliance for mission platforms

Pioneer deploys the platform and keeps it compliant once it is running. It pulls hardened images from Ghost, enforces TLS across the platform, and flags drift the moment a setting changes.

It runs in the cloud, on ships, at the edge, and on networks that never touch the internet, with templated deployments for integrated combat systems.

Talk to us about Pioneer →

Controls: Platform-wide TLS, drift detection and reversion
Runs on: Cloud, shipboard, edge, air-gapped
Delivery: Disconnected delivery built in
Origin: Air Force SBIR

Waypoint

Hands-on Kubernetes and DevSecOps training

A three-day, in-person course on the same stack your programs run. Students work hands on the whole time, not watching slides.

The goal is for your team to own the stack. After the course, each student can keep lab access for a year to keep practicing on real systems.

Format: 3 days, in person, hands on
Covers: Kubernetes, DevSecOps, Ghost, and Pioneer
Labs: Optional 12 months per student

Professional services

Engineers, not account managers.

Our services exist to make the products hold up in your environment. The people who build Ghost and Pioneer are the people who deploy and support them.

Forward Deployed Engineering

On site with your program.

AlphaBravo engineers embed with your team on site, at sea, or at the edge. They build and deploy alongside your people, then hand off so your team owns it.

Support

Direct access to the engineers.

When something breaks, you reach AlphaBravo engineers who know the stack. No scripts and no tiers between you and the answer.

Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern
Connected and disconnected sites
Covers Ghost, Pioneer, and the platforms they run on

SBIR Phase III

Sole source authority is built in.

Ghost and Pioneer come from SBIR work with the Air Force. Agencies can award follow-on work sole source under SBIR Phase III, without a new competition.

About AlphaBravo

Built by engineers who work where you work.

AlphaBravo started as a Kubernetes training and engineering company supporting DoD programs. Our engineers kept solving the same problems for the same kinds of missions, so we built Ghost and Pioneer to solve them once.

We are a veteran-built team based in Frederick, Maryland. The company was founded on services and SBIR funding, is U.S.-owned, and has no foreign ownership.
