Security teams today are overwhelmed by vulnerability data - much of it disconnected from real-world execution. Traditional scanners report thousands of CVEs, many of which reside in packages, libraries, or binaries that are present in container images but never used at runtime.
This disconnect inflates dashboards, slows deployments, and increases compliance burdens. RapidFort addresses this challenge by identifying and eliminating attack surface noise - the accumulation of non-exploitable vulnerabilities in unused code paths.
Static tools like SCA, SAST, and DAST are essential but incomplete. They detect known vulnerabilities but lack visibility into what a container actually does in production. These tools treat all CVEs equally, whether found in:
This leads to disproportionate patching efforts and wasted engineering cycles - without improving runtime security.
RapidFort helps teams go beyond what’s included in a container image to understand what’s actually executed. By integrating into CI/CD workflows and monitoring containers in production, RapidFort produces a Runtime Bill of Materials (RBOM™) - a list of components loaded into memory, executed by active processes, or invoked by live application workflows.
This enables:
RapidFort instruments builds during development and test phases to determine which packages, binaries, libraries, and directories are never used. It integrates directly with Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines such as GitHub Actions, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Jenkins. Outputs include an RBOM and prioritized vulnerability reports based on runtime relevance.
In production, RapidFort validates container behavior through lightweight runtime monitoring. It continuously detects unused software, aligns containers to STIG/CIS benchmarks, and maintains compliance posture. Drift tracking and telemetry data help enforce policy and support audit requirements.
Together, these capabilities form RapidFort’s Software Attack Surface Management (SASM) platform - automating reduction of exploitable code without requiring source code changes.
Organizations preparing for frameworks such as FedRAMP, CMMC, and SOC 2 must demonstrate vulnerability control, system integrity, and configuration alignment.
RapidFort supports these initiatives by:
By aligning remediation effort with actual risk exposure, teams accelerate certification and reduce compliance cost.
RapidFort has helped teams:
These outcomes are achieved without modifying application code or interrupting existing CI/CD workflows.
Shifting security left is only effective when the alerts are meaningful. Pushing unfiltered CVE data earlier in the SDLC simply redistributes effort without reducing noise.
RapidFort ensures early insights are filtered by runtime relevance, so teams spend less time chasing vulnerabilities in components that aren’t executed - and more time securing the ones that are.
Not all vulnerabilities introduce equal risk. Many CVEs originate from components that are never loaded, never executed, and never exposed in production.
RapidFort empowers teams to make informed decisions by distinguishing between what’s present in a container and what’s actually used at runtime. This allows organizations to:
By shifting from exhaustive patching to context-driven security, teams can improve resilience, accelerate delivery, and meet compliance expectations more efficiently.
