ITHACA, NEW YORK / ACCESS Newswire / December 9, 2025 / GrammaTech, a long-trusted provider of cybersecurity services and tools that improve and accelerate software development, today announced it has achieved “Awardable” status with its Dykondo (DYnamic KONtainer Debloater/Optimizer): Debloating container images for reduced attack surface and optimized edge deployments offering through the Platform One (P1) Solutions Marketplace. This designation allows government buyers to easily acquire GrammaTech’s container debloating capability for mission-critical efforts. GrammaTech’s solution, developed with support from the Office of Naval Research, is designed to provide an automated solution for container debloating.
Robots Securing Containers
Container images frequently include unnecessary software, libraries, and files that are irrelevant to specific deployments, resulting in bloated images that increase attack surfaces, trigger false positives in static container scans, and impose unnecessary storage and bandwidth burdens. While current best practices rely on manual Dockerfile optimization, this is time-consuming and limited in scope. Dykondo automates container debloating by removing superfluous components from recognized application and file types, returning a lean, secure image. The result: smaller images, fewer false vulnerability reports, reduced deployment overhead, and a minimized attack surface, without the need for complex Dockerfile tuning.
“This recognition from Platform One highlights the innovation and impact of our ONR-supported research, translating into deployable cybersecurity capabilities for national defense.” said Dan Goodwin, CEO of GrammaTech.
The P1 Solutions Marketplace is a digital repository of post-competition, 5-minute long readily-awardable solutions, which address the Government’s greatest requirements in hardware, software and service solutions. “With Dykondo now available through the P1 Solutions Marketplace, government teams can easily integrate advanced container hardening into their software pipelines, increasingly a priority for securing edge environments.” said Dr. Lucja Kot, Vice President of Research at GrammaTech.
GrammaTech was recognized among a competitive field of applicants to the P1 Solutions Marketplace whose solutions demonstrated innovation, scalability, and potential impact on DoD missions.
