RAPIDFORT is the first Software Attack Surface Optimization Platform.
Modern cloud workloads include a large number of unused or seldom used components. These components are present either because they might be needed in an emergency or because engineers aren’t sure if they are needed or not. Attackers frequently use these same components to help them “live off the land” and avoid detection once they have compromised a system or, in some cases, facilitate an initial compromise.
Software attack surface is the sum of all software opportunities that unauthorized parties can exploit to access a system. Reducing your software attack surface is an essential security measure.
RAPIDFORT solves this problem by providing organizations with a platform to continuously monitor and minimize their software attack surface. An immediate benefit of RAPIDFORT’s solution is that, even before the workload arrives for production deployment, there is a clear understanding of which packages and vulnerabilities are in use by the workload, reducing vulnerability remediation and patch management backlog by 80% on average.
It’s simple to start with RAPIDFORT and see for yourself. It’s easy; it’s magical! Visit us at www.rapidfort.com, and let us help you run free and stay secure.
