The company's comprehensive solution addresses critical cybersecurity challenges by removing up to 95% of Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) from container images without requiring any code changes.RapidFort's unified platform offers three core capabilities: curated near-zero CVE container images with FIPS 140-3 validation and daily builds, DevTime protection tools that generate Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) and Real Bill of Materials (RBOM) for vulnerability remediation, and RunTime protection that automatically secures unused components and reduces software attack surfaces by 60-90%.The platform serves organizations seeking to reduce development costs by 10%, accelerate software releases by 2-3 weeks, and achieve faster compliance with FedRAMP, cATO, CMMC, and SOC2 standards. RapidFort's solution integrates seamlessly with existing development workflows and technology stacks, consuming less than 1% system overhead while providing comprehensive security hardening.Trusted by government agencies including the U.S. Air Force and Space Force, as well as enterprise customers, RapidFort addresses the growing challenge of software supply chain security by eliminating "zombie code" – the 50-90% of unused software components that create unnecessary security risks. The company's approach enables organizations to spend more time building products rather than maintaining and updating dormant code, ultimately strengthening security posture while improving operational efficiency.
