RapidFort Platform

What it does

The RapidFort Platform is a software supply chain security platform for containerized applications that eliminates vulnerabilities by rebuilding container images rather than only flagging findings for developers to fix. Its core mechanism is the RBOM, a runtime bill of materials recording which components actually execute in production, which lets the platform strip unused packages and deliver hardened near-zero CVE images as drop-in replacements, removing up to 99.9% of CVEs without code, OS, or pipeline changes.

How it works

Five components form a continuous hardening loop: RapidFort Analyzer scans image contents and configurations for validated, low-noise vulnerability intelligence and exports software bills of materials (SBOMs) in SPDX and CycloneDX formats; Curated Images supplies 35,000+ near-zero CVE base images hardened to STIG and CIS benchmarks with FIPS-validated cryptography; Profiler observes running Kubernetes workloads at under 1% overhead to build the RBOM; Optimizer removes non-executed components and rebuilds hardened images every 24 hours; and CART continuously checks environments against DISA STIGs, CIS Benchmarks, and NIST frameworks, producing remediation scripts and versioned audit evidence. Curated Libraries adds malware-scanned npm and PyPI packages.

Credentials and traction

RapidFort completed a SOC 2 Type 2 audit in 2023 and was recognized in the inaugural 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Software Supply Chain Security, alongside a 2026 Top InfoSec Innovator award. It is an Iron Bank Verified Publisher with DoD-trusted, DISA-validated images, and was named Nutanix Cloud Native Partner of the Year in 2026. Curated images carry a remediation SLA of 7 days for critical CVEs and 14 days for all others, serving federal, financial services, and healthcare buyers.
