Secure Mission Software and Accelerate Authorization Readiness.

Reduce up to 95% of vulnerabilities and shrink attack surface by up to 90%—without code changes—while supporting CMMC 2.0, NIST 800-171/800-53, FedRAMP, StateRAMP, and cATO readiness with continuous, audit-aligned security.

Defense and federal missions depend on trusted software, not point-in-time attestations. RapidFort helps agencies, DoD programs, and Defense Industrial Base (DIB) contractors harden containerized workloads, reduce inherited risk, and produce verifiable security evidence for authorizing officials.

The Security Realities Driving Mission Software Risk

Inherited risk slows ATO and expands POA&Ms

Vendor and open-source images often arrive with large CVE backlogs, delaying ATO decisions, complicating FedRAMP packages, and inflating POA&M lists.

Continuous authorization demands continuous evidence

cATO, ConMon, and zero-trust directives require ongoing vulnerability reduction and traceable lineage tied to each release—not quarterly scans or static screenshots.

Fragmented visibility across diverse environments

Programs span multiple clouds, on-prem, and restricted networks. Without clear runtime visibility and consistent SBOM/RBOM outputs, it is difficult to reconcile CVE counts, track drift, or validate that approved baselines match what is actually running.

How RapidFort Reduces Mission Software Risk

Start on Hardened, Near-Zero CVE Baselines

Build mission applications on 17,000+ Curated Near-Zero CVE Images hardened with STIG/CIS benchmarks and aligned with NIST SP 800-70 guidance.
Use FIPS-validated, widely adopted LTS distributions to avoid lock-in and meet federal security expectations.
Eliminate inherited CVE debt before software reaches sensitive environments, reducing risk and accelerating authorization readiness.

Expose and Prioritize True Risk with Analyzer & Profiler

Use Analyzer’s deep binary scanning and RapidRisk scoring to identify exploitable CVEs in internal and vendor images across registries and pipelines.
Generate SBOMs and Runtime Bill of Materials (RBOM™) to see which components actually execute in production workloads, filtering false positives and noise.
Detect drift between approved baselines and running software so teams can focus remediation where it matters most for mission systems.

Continuously Reduce Exposure with Optimizer & CART

Automatically remove unused binaries, libraries, and packages with Optimizer, achieving up to 95% CVE reduction and up to 90% attack-surface reduction without changing application code.
Use CART to run CIS/STIG checks and export SBOM/RBOM artifacts that support CMMC 2.0, NIST 800-171/800-53, FedRAMP ConMon, and StateRAMP documentation workflows.
Maintain a near-zero CVE posture across cloud and on-prem environments with continuous hardening and repeatable, audit-aligned reporting.

Outcomes Mission Programs Can Rely On

↓ up to 95% reduction

in CVEs across containerized mission workloads

↓ up to 90% reduction

in software attack surface through automated hardening

Months → Continuous

faster production of security evidence for cATO, ConMon, and POA&M updates

↓ ~60% Less manual work

by replacing rebuilds with automated, zero-code remediation

Audit-Aligned Evidence for Authorization Officials

CMMC 2.0 / NIST 800-171

Continuous vulnerability identification and reduction backed by hardened baselines and SBOM/RBOM outputs. Artifacts that support control families related to risk assessment, configuration management, and vulnerability management.

FedRAMP (NIST 800-53 Rev. 5) & StateRAMP

STIG/CIS-aligned containers and continuous remediation data that feed into FedRAMP and State RAMP ConMon processes. Exportable SBOM/RBOM to support SSPs, security assessments, and POA&M tracking.

FISMA-Aligned Federal Systems

Hardened baselines and vulnerability-reduction metrics that map to NIST 800-53 control expectations for federal information systems.

cATO and Zero-Trust Initiatives

Runtime-verified lineage (RBOM™), drift detection, and continuous CVE reduction to support repeatable risk validation within authorization boundaries.

Philip Martin

CSO, Coinbase

"RapidFort’s Runtime Protection toolset is rethinking a massive and timely problem that cybersecurity teams face: CVE remediation. Instead of chasing enormous patch backlogs, shipping late, etc, companies will be able to focus only on the vulnerabilities that lie within their applications execution path and let RapidFort secure the rest."

Dave Neuman

Senior Analyst, TAG Cyber

"Scaling the remediation of software vulnerabilities has historically been an intractable problem to solve. Security professionals have been burdened by an overabundance of vulnerabilities and developers have been asked to chase CVEs instead of focusing on innovation and new product features."

Ed Amoroso

CEO, Tag Cyber

“RapidFort's new runtime capabilities are a game changer for the CISO’s organization. It has created a new paradigm for the management of software vulnerabilities. Now empowered with new and actionable insights, the productivity of security professionals will be dramatically improved while developers will spend way more of their time innovating and not chasing CVEs."

Masa Karahashi

SVP of Engineering, Avalara

"RapidFort is a great solution for engineering teams to get a handle on OSS issues and help their security teams keep on top of them. Otherwise, the process is very time-consuming and ineffective. We also use RapidFort to identify and fix gaps in our tests, and the smaller workload sizes make our deployments more efficient."

JP Bourget

President, Blue Cycle

"I recommend getting started by scanning one of your registries to see how easily it can generate an SBOM and uncover easy-to-fix vulnerabilities."
