    Contrast Security

    Contrast Security

    Contrast Security

    Modern software development must match the speed of the business. But the modern AppSec tool soup lacks integration and creates complexity that slows software development life cycles. Contrast simplifies the complexity that impedes today’s development teams. Legacy AppSec employs a one-size-fits-all vulnerability detection and remediation approach that is inefficient and costly. Contrast automatically applies the best analysis and remediation technique, dramatically improving efficiencies and efficacy. Separate AppSec tools create silos that obfuscate the gathering of actionable intelligence across the application attack surface. Contrast delivers centralized observability that is critical to managing risks and capitalizing on operational efficiencies, both for security and development teams. Contrast Scan is pipeline native and delivers the speed, accuracy, and integration demanded by modern software development.

    RapidFort

    RapidFort

    RapidFort

    Automatically eliminate unused software components and deploy smaller, faster, more secure workloads. RapidFort drastically reduces vulnerability and patch management queues so that developers can focus on building. By eliminating unused container components, RapidFort enhances production workload security and saves developers from unnecessarily patching and maintaining unused code. RapidFort profiles containers to understand what components are needed to run. Run your containers as normal in any environment, dev, test, or prod. Use any container deployment, including Kubernetes, Docker Compose, Amazon EKS, and AWS Fargate. RapidFort then identifies which packages you must keep, enabling you to remove unused packages.

    SCANOSS

    SCANOSS

    SCANOSS

    SCANOSS believes now is the time to reinvent Software Composition Analysis with a goal of ‘start left’ and a focus first on the foundation of reliable SCA, the SBOM. An SBOM that does not require a small army of auditors to make it usable. So, SCANOSS provides an SBOM that that is ‘always on’. SCANOSS released the first entirely Open Source SCA software platform for Open Source Inventorying, specifically designed for modern development (DevOps) environments. SCANOSS also released the first Open OSS Knowledge Base, free to the community. Our architecture is API-centric, built for developers. The “shift left” paradigm brings license compliance validation to the earliest possible stage in a development process. We can go as left as intercepting a CTRL-V in your IDE before undeclared Open Source is pasted. The first Open Source Inventorying engine built specifically for modern development and DevOps teams of all sizes.

    ActiveState

    ActiveState

    ActiveState delivers Intelligent Remediation for vulnerability management, which enables DevSecOps teams to not only identify vulnerabilities in open source packages, but also to automatically prioritize, remediate, and deploy fixes into production without breaking changes, ensuring that applications are truly secured. Existing tools overwhelm DevSecOps teams with excessive vulnerability data, false positives, and a lack of prioritization, often leading to inaction and increased exposure to exploits. ActiveState’s solution provides your DevSecOps with a comprehensive view of open source vulnerability status across your application portfolio, enabling them to prioritize the vulnerabilities that matter, assess the risk of updates, and choose recommended remediation paths based on corporate policies and avoiding breaking changes. We do this by helping you understand your vulnerability blast radius, intelligently prioritize remediations, and precisely remediate what matters.
