Most vulnerabilities and audit gaps originate in the OS layer. Whether an image is open and transparent or proprietary and vendor-controlled fundamentally shapes its security profile.
Key Points:
Most vulnerabilities and audit gaps originate in the OS layer. Whether an image is open and transparent or proprietary and vendor-controlled fundamentally shapes its security profile.
Security instability, compliance drift, runtime failures, and audit challenges typically originate from inherited OS-layer risk - not application code.
Hardening isn’t a one-time artifact. It’s an ongoing process backed by verifiable build integrity and open, standards-based baselines.
All dependencies pinned. No silent upstream changes. Fully reproducible across clusters & clouds
Critical CVEs patched within 7 days. Full-image rebuilds every 14 days. CIS/STIG checks integrated into every cycle.
Embedded FIPS 140-3 validated modules. No overlays or custom integration required. Ready for FedRAMP, DoD, and financial environments.
SBOM (CycloneDX/SPDX) generated for every build. RBOM™ visibility when paired with RapidFort Profiler. Clear lineage for audits and internal security reviews
Keep your workflows exactly the same - with drastically better security and compliance outcomes.
Step 1
Select your curated LTS Linux variant
Step 2
Swap the tag (ubuntu:22.04 → ubuntu:22.04-rf)
Step 3
Build, scan, deploy - without code or pipeline changes
Step 4
Receive hardened, continuously rebuilt versions automatically
Hardened, near-zero CVE images that eliminate inherited risk and provide immediate, measurable security improvement.
