# Continuous Security for Mission Software and Federal Systems

Reduce inherited vulnerabilities, minimize software attack surface, and maintain continuous security evidence across containerized mission workloads supporting U.S. federal and defense environments.

## What Slows Mission Authorization and Deployment

### Inherited CVE Backlogs

Vendor base images and open-source components introduce thousands of vulnerabilities before mission software even reaches development.

### Gaps in Continuous Evidence

Security teams struggle to maintain consistent vulnerability and configuration evidence required for federal security reviews.

### Security Baseline Drift

CIS, DISA STIG, and agency baselines often drift across development, staging, and production environments.

## How RapidFort Reduces Mission Software Risk

## Prioritize True Risk with Analyzer and Profiler Intelligence

Identify exploitable vulnerabilities using deep binary analysis and runtime context

Generate SBOMs and Runtime Bills of Materials (RBOM™) for precise risk visibility

Reduce scanner noise by validating CVE applicability

## Start Secure with Curated Near-Zero CVE Foundations

Deploy CIS and DISA STIG-aligned Curated Near-Zero CVE Images

Remove inherited vulnerabilities before mission software reaches production

Standardize hardened container foundations across mission workloads

## Continuously Reduce Exposure with Optimizer and CART

Remove unused components to achieve up to 99.9% CVE reduction and up to 90% attack surface reduction

Enforce CIS and STIG baselines consistently across environments

Maintain a near-zero CVE posture with audit-ready evidence

## Outcomes Mission Programs Can Rely On

### Up to 99.9% CVE reduction

Achieved through hardened base images and automated attack surface reduction.

### Up to 90% attack surface reduction

Delivered by removing unused binaries and dormant runtime components.

### Faster audit preparation

SBOM, RBOM, and configuration evidence remain continuously ready for review.

### About 60% less manual remediation effort

Automation replaces repetitive vulnerability triage, exception handling, and patch cycles.

## Regulatory Evidence Built Into Every Release

### CMMC 2.0 and NIST 800-171

Continuous vulnerability visibility and hardened container foundations support secure software delivery for defense contractors.

### FedRAMP and StateRAMP Readiness

Hardened container images and vulnerability visibility strengthen cloud security posture for federal environments.

### NIST 800-53 and FISMA-Aligned Systems

Provide structured vulnerability evidence supporting federal risk management frameworks.

### ATO and Zero Trust Initiatives

Reduce software attack surface and strengthen software supply chain security across mission systems.
