# Elevate security with Enterprise Edition

> Set up advanced Minimus features with Enterprise Edition

With a Minimus account, you can get more out of Minimus:

1. Create [private images](/enterprise-edition/image-creator) with a custom list of packages, certificates, env vars, and more.
2. Adapt private images to your CI/CD pipelines using [minicli](/enterprise-edition/minicli)
3. Set up [actions](/remediate/actions)
4. Sync Minimus images to your [private registry](/manage/self-hosted-registry)
5. Set up user management and SSO for the team

### **1. Create your first private image**

If you would like to customize a Minimus image by adding packages, configuration files, certificates, or environment variables, you can use Minimus [Creator](/enterprise-edition/image-creator) to build your own private image.

Minimus will maintain, update, and scan your private images just as if they were public images.

If you are migrating from Alpine, Debian, or other distro-based images, you can learn more about how to build a custom image off Static with only the packages of your choice. You can also see our recommendations for adjusting Dockerfiles in more complex scenarios by temporarily escalating privileges, using Python virtual environments (venv), etc. See [Going Distroless](/foundations/going-distroless)

### **2. Connect your registry and pipelines**

You'll want to check that you [meet the networking requirements](/manage/network). If you prefer to pull Minimus images through a third-party registry, you can set up syncing with [Google Artifact Registry](/manage/mirror-to-gcp-artifact-registry) or [JFrog Artifactory](/manage/sync-with-jfrog-artifactory). With a Minimus image subscription, you will also be able to [sync images to a self-hosted private registry](/manage/self-hosted-registry), even if it is air-gapped.

### **3. Enable supply chain protection**

Minimus [supply chain protection](/enterprise-edition/supply-chain) guards against malicious packages and tampered dependencies in your private images. Once enabled, every package included in a private image is verified against the Minimus supply chain policy before the image is built.
