ActiveState overview

What is 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 so you can see every vulnerabilities’ true impact across your organization. This is driven by our proprietary catalog of 40M+ open source components that’s been built and tested for over 25 years.

-Intelligently prioritize remediations so you can turn risks into action. We help teams move away from alert overload with AI-powered analysis that detects breaking changes, streamlines remediation workflows, and accelerates security processes.

-Precisely remediate what matters - unlike other solutions, ActiveState doesn’t just suggest what you should do, we enable you to deploy fixed artifacts or document exceptions so you can truly drive down vulnerabilities and secure your software supply chain.

The ActiveState platform centers on open source languages packaged as runtimes that can be deployed in various form factors. Low-to-no CVE container images are also available for plug-in and play needs.

Key benefits of using ActiveState
