Why agencies choose RapidFort
The leader in software supply chain security
RapidFort is the leader in Software Supply Chain Security, enabling organizations to eliminate risk across their software stack at scale. As AI accelerates software development and the speed at which vulnerabilities are exploited, open-source risk has become a critical operational priority for public-sector organizations. Its platform combines curated near-zero CVE container images, runtime profiling, and attack surface management to remove up to 99.9% of vulnerabilities within hours and reduce the attack surface by up to 90% without code changes
Secure Foundation with Near-Zero CVE Images
Government agencies, defense organizations, and public sector entities require a verified, compliant starting point for every software environment on which their missions depend. RapidFort delivers FIPS 140-2- and 140-3-validated, STIG- and CIS-benchmarked container images across all major Linux distributions, establishing a near-zero CVE baseline before development begins
Continuous CVE Elimination Across the Software Lifecycle
Every containerized workload is profiled to identify what is actively used at runtime, generating a Software and Runtime Bill of Materials for complete supply chain visibility. Unused components are automatically removed, false positives eliminated, and images continuously hardened, reducing the software attack surface by up to 90%. This ensures ongoing compliance with FISMA, FedRAMP, and NIST 800-53 mandates without increasing engineering teams' remediation workload.
Federal Compliance Alignment
RapidFort aligns with the compliance frameworks that government agencies and public sector organizations operate under, maintaining that alignment continuously, not only at authorization time. Validated across FedRAMP, FISMA, NIST 800-53, and NIST 800-70, Zero Trust Architecture, CMMC, SOC2, PCI DSS, and HIPAA, the platform ensures every workload meets the security and compliance standards agencies are required to uphold.
Vendor-Agnostic, Highly Interoperable Security
RapidFort supports full operational flexibility across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments without vendor lock-in. Built on the open-source distributions that public sector teams already standardize on, including Red Hat, Ubuntu, Debian, and Alpine, RapidFort integrates with existing pipelines, container registries, and orchestration platforms without disrupting established infrastructure or workflows.
Curated Images
