Eliminate attack vectors at the source.

The only scalable solution is to eliminate attack vectors before they reach production. RapidFort does this continuously, across every framework, without code changes.

The Problem

What slows mission authorization

01
CVE Backlog

Inherited CVE backlogs

Between 2016 and 2025, 235,000 CVEs had fixes identified — but each fix must be individually integrated, backported, peer-verified, and regression tested. Approximately 85% of enterprise software is open source. Technical security debt mounts.

02
Authorization Risk

Stale compliance evidence

Attackers leverage AI to move faster — disclosure-to-exploit windows are now less than 10 hours, down from 24 months ten years ago. Point-in-time scans cannot satisfy continuous monitoring for ATO, FedRAMP, CMMC, DORA, or NIS2.

03
Baseline Drift

Security baseline drift

Without continuous protection, the software supply chain becomes the path of least resistance. Security teams are overwhelmed by alerts, false positives, and compliance obligations. Traditional tools are fragmented and require manual action.

04
Cryptographic Compliance

FIPS and cryptographic gaps

Most base images lack FIPS 140-2/3 validated cryptographic modules. This single gap blocks DoD authorization in the US and creates barriers to eIDAS and CRA compliance across European public sector environments.

One End-to-End Platform. The Entire Lifecycle.

No gaps. No handoffs. No blind spots.

Security is not a checkpoint. It is a continuous system embedded into how software is delivered.

Software is curated and risks are eliminated before entry

SBOM generation per image and per build

Intelligent CVE identification across packages, files, and OS layers

~25% scanner noise reduction via CVE applicability validation

Components are hardened and the attack surface is reduced

RBOM® generation — Runtime Bill of Materials (USPTO registered)

Removes unused packages, libraries, and binaries

Up to 90% attack surface reduction without code changes

Environments are continuously monitored and protected

Continuous runtime monitoring and threat detection

RBOM® separates true attack surface from theoretical SBOM risk

24-hour continuous optimization cycles

Compliance evidence built into every release

Automated STIG, CIS, NIST 800-53 evidence generation

FedRAMP, ATO, and CMMC 2.0 audit artifact compilation

Maps to EU CRA, DORA, and NIS2 technical security measures
