The Accuracy Problem in Vulnerability Scanning

Software development icon

Incomplete Image Visibility

Most scanners inspect package metadata only and miss binaries, embedded tools, and custom artifacts inside images.

Software development icon

Low-Fidelity CVE Results

Reported vulnerabilities often lack applicability context, forcing teams to manually validate findings.

Software solution icon

Distro-Level CVE Noise

Distribution advisories inflate CVE counts even when affected packages are not present or reachable.

Precision Beyond Traditional Scanners

RapidFort Analyzer replaces surface-level scanning with deep, validated analysis you can act on with confidence.

Deep Image Analysis

Enumerates all files, packages, and configurations within container images, not just those reported by package managers.

User interface showing export options for SBOM and RBOM with toggles enabled, and selection checkboxes for CycloneDX JSON and XML. A partially visible RBOM table lists fixes, images, names, vulnerabilities installed and fixed with numeric values.

Validated CVE Applicability

Confirms whether a vulnerability truly applies to the image by accounting for distribution specifics, package presence, and configuration context.

Exploit Aware Prioritization

Applies Rapid Risk score to enable teams to focus on vulnerabilities most likely to be exploited in the near term.

Enterprise SBOM Generation

Export SBOMs in SPDX, CycloneDX, JSON, and CSV for audits, compliance, and customer security reviews.

Curated Images Swap Suggestion

RapidFort Analyzer identifies when vulnerabilities originate from base images and recommends secure, near-zero CVE Curated Images as drop-in replacements.
