RapidFort Platform
Runtime-aware container hardening with 35,000+ near-zero CVE curated images and libraries.
RapidFort Platform Overview
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.
Key Capabilities
mapped to solution categoriesRisk context for open-source dependencies including reachability, exploitability, and upgrade impact.
Deep analysis of binaries and packages to detect tampering, malware, and hidden threats beyond manifest-based scanning.
Governs third-party software consumption to apply consistent software supply chain security policy.
Live visibility into code, components, pipelines, and developer activity across the software development lifecycle.
Applies CIS Docker Benchmark and CIS Kubernetes Worker Node Benchmark controls to base images, removing unnecessary packages, setting secure defaults, and configuring file permissions.
Monitors managed SBOMs against the NVD, OSV, and vendor advisories, alerting when newly published CVEs match components in any tracked SBOM.
Provides distroless image variants that contain only the language runtime and application binary, no shell, no package manager, no /tmp. Eliminates entire classes of post-exploitation tooling.
Uses FIPS 140-2 or 140-3 validated cryptographic libraries in all TLS and crypto operations, required for FedRAMP, DoD, and other federal workloads.
Builds images with only the application runtime and required dependencies, eliminating shells, package managers, and debugging tools that expand the attack surface.
