Patching the Unpatchable: Datuum’s Container Security Breakthrough

Managing container security for over a million daily data transformations is daunting enough. Now imagine doing it with zero tolerance for vulnerabilities. This was the challenge facing Datuum, whose AI-powered platform handles sensitive data integration for Fortune 500 companies and government agencies.

With just three security team members managing enterprise-grade requirements, Datuum needed more than just another security tool – they needed a force multiplier. Their lean team faced mounting container vulnerabilities while trying to maintain rapid deployment cycles for government contracts demanding zero-vulnerability environments.

Enter Root.io‘s Automated Vulnerability Remediation platform. Within the first week of implementation, Datuum achieved what many considered impossible: a 98% reduction in critical and high vulnerabilities across their core container images, while maintaining their development velocity.

“Root.io has revolutionized our vulnerability remediation process,” notes Serhii Lykhoman, VP of Engineering at Datuum. “Their ability to deliver fast, reliable patches—even for issues others deem unfixable—has been a game-changer, transforming our security operations from a potential bottleneck into a competitive advantage.”

The results speak volumes:

• Reduced manual security reviews from 40 to 4 hours weekly

• Expanded from 100 to 200+ containers without adding headcount

• Achieved consistent 24-hour patch deployment across production

• Cut vulnerability management time by 90%

Root.io‘s platform achieved this through:

• Advanced patching for “unfixable” vulnerabilities

• Automated scanning and triage that eliminates manual tasks

• Seamless DevOps integration with GitLab pipelines

• Patches delivered weeks ahead of traditional sources
