Sunnyvale, California, United States
What it is
RapidFort is a software supply chain security platform for containerized applications. It combines vulnerability analysis, runtime visibility, image hardening, and compliance validation across Linux, self-hosted, and web deployments. Analyzer scans images, registries, CI pipelines, and clusters, while Profiler reports runtime behavior and creates a Runtime Bill of Materials from production usage. Optimizer removes unused components and builds hardened images on continuous 24-hour cycles. RapidFort offers more than 35,000 curated near-zero CVE images based on trusted Linux distributions. CART provides continuous compliance validation and audit artifacts aligned with CIS, STIG, NIST, HIPAA, PCI, and FedRAMP benchmarks. The free plan costs nothing and includes five curated images from a limited catalog, daily rebuilding and patching, and standard registry compatibility. Custom catalog and platform plans have no listed prices. On-premises and air-gapped deployment are described, with runtime profiling stated at less than 1% overhead.
