RAPIDFORT

A decade ago, the window between a vulnerability being disclosed and it being exploited was 24 months. Today, it's under 10 hours. Frontier AI models can now scan a major open source project and surface vulnerabilities in minutes. The same technology accelerating defense is also industrializing attack – at a speed no team of human researchers can match. The old model of security response – dozens of organizations independently scanning the same libraries, filing duplicate reports, shipping conflicting patches – was already fragile. In the age of AI, it's simply not viable. That's what Akrites was built to fix.  One shared incident response team. Fixes flowing upstream, on maintainers' terms. Success measured in patch deployment – not patch publication. RapidFort secures the enterprise stack. Akrites secures the commons it's built on. Two approaches, genuinely complementary. Our CMO Mike Wood wrote about why this moment is different and what coordinated upstream defense actually looks like in practice. Read it here: https://hubs.ly/Q04n6yNz0

Most supply chain attacks don't start in your code. They start in your dependencies – a compromised npm package, a typosquatted PyPI library, an install-time payload that runs before you have any visibility. RapidFort Curated Libraries are independently malware-scanned open-source packages for npm, PyPI, Maven, RubyGems, and NuGet. Same versions, same interfaces, same CLI syntax your team already uses – consumed through your existing workflows, no new tooling required. The difference: malware is screened out before it ever enters your build pipeline, not discovered after a public disclosure forces a reactive investigation. Prevention instead of incident response. 🔗 rapidfort.com/libraries #RapidFort #SoftwareSupplyChainSecurity #DevSecOps #OpenSource

🤖🔒 Legion Intelligence has partnered with RapidFort to reduce vulnerabilities across AI workloads used by defense and government organizations. Under the agreement, RapidFort will provide hardened container images and security tools for Legion’s AI platform, which supports intelligence analysis, mission planning, and process automation. “AI workloads are the new high-value target,” said RapidFort chief executive and founder Mehran Farimani.

Akrites brings together industry leaders with the passion and expertise to combat threats to the Software Supply Chain posed by AI. RapidFort is proud to be a founding member and contributor to this important initiative.

The largest coordinated vulnerability remediation initiative for genuinely open-source software was launched today. RapidFort is proud to be a founding member alongside Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, JPMorganChase, and others. Akrites – a The Linux Foundation initiative – has created one coordinated place to find, fix, and responsibly disclose vulnerabilities in authentically open source software before they can be exploited. The open source commons needs defending. We're all in. #RapidFort #SoftwareSupplyChainSecurity #OpenSource #AISecurity #DevSecOps #AppSec 🔗 Press release: https://lnkd.in/gJQ2kFrh 🔗 Open letter: https://lnkd.in/exs7y_2d

Having seen more than a few migration projects stall, fail, or create unexpected operational risk, I question why organisations would migrate to a proprietary OS just to address open-source vulnerabilities. RapidFort helps organisations eliminate up to 99.9% of CVEs without forcing them to abandon the Linux distributions they already trust. ✅ Ubuntu LTS ✅ RHEL LTS ✅ Debian ✅ Alpine Linux Analyze and profile vulnerabilities inline, at runtime, or within local registries. No migration projects. No proprietary operating systems. No vendor lock-in. Just dramatically reduced risk and complete freedom of choice. #ContainerSecurity #CyberSecurity #DevSecOps #CloudNative #Linux #OpenSource #RapidFort

Attackers don't need to breach your perimeter. They compromise a maintainer account, push a malicious update, and wait for your pipeline to pull it in. RapidFort Curated Libraries address this at the source – independently malware-scanned packages for npm, PyPI, Maven, RubyGems, and NuGet, delivered through the artifact repositories and workflows your team already uses. No new friction for developers. No reactive scramble when the next malicious package makes headlines. Just a cleaner starting point for everything you build. 🔗 https://hubs.ly/Q04mvWRm0 #RapidFort #SoftwareSupplyChainSecurity #DevSecOps #OpenSource

Your vulnerability scanner may be keeping information from you... Most scanners flag everything in the image. RapidFort Profiler tracks what actually executes. The RBOM® is your runtime source of truth – not a theoretical inventory. See what runs. Secure what matters. 🔗https://hubs.ly/Q04mbFXV0
