Repository will strengthen containerized
open-source software for developer community
RapidFort, a leading innovator in cybersecurity pioneering
Software Attack Surface Management (SASM), has launched their
GitHub repository with hundreds of prehardened open-source images.
This initiative offers developers free, secure, efficient, and
reliable container solutions, transforming the DevSecOps landscape
with over 1.85 million unique downloads from developers to
date.
Open-source containers, while powerful and widely used, are
often bloated with unnecessary code and hundreds of
vulnerabilities, shifting the burden of remediation to developers
and increasing the risk of insecure software. In a survey conducted
by RapidFort, 73% of people said their organizations spend between
11 and 30 hours each week remediating CVEs. RapidFort is addressing
this challenge head-on with their free pre-hardened images, giving
developers a weekly updated catalog of slimmer, faster, less
resource-intensive images, letting developers focus on what
developers do best, building. This community-focused initiative
provides cost-saving benefits and more efficient infrastructure,
allowing developers to focus on innovation rather than
vulnerability management, ultimately accelerating development
cycles and enhancing their security posture.
“We believe that security should be accessible to everyone,
regardless of the size of their organization or the resources they
have,” said Mehran Farimani, CEO of RapidFort. “By offering these
pre-hardened community images for free, we are not only helping
developers save time and resources but also contributing to a
safer, more secure digital ecosystem. It's our way of giving back
to the open-source community that has given us so much.”
These images are hardened through RapidFort’s innovative SASM
platform, with rebuilds to the repository each time a new image is
released. RapidFort’s flagship runtime toolset, RapidFort Runtime
allows container images to be scanned, profiled, monitored, and
secured in a production environment. Its ability to pinpoint
vulnerabilities within the execution path results in the automatic
removal of unused components and unnecessary vulnerabilities,
reducing software attack surfaces by an impressive 60-90%.
