# Production-Grade Hardened Images Without CVE Debt

RapidFort Curated Images provide continuously rebuilt, STIG and CIS aligned Linux foundations with near-zero CVEs, FIPS validated cryptography, and drop-in compatibility for regulated and high-scale environments.

### Your Base Image Determines Most of Your Risk

Removes entire vulnerable code paths, lowering CVE exposure up to 99.9%.

Most vulnerabilities originate in the operating system layer

Inherited CVEs propagate across every service built on top

Weak foundations create downstream security and audit failures

## Automated Remediation That Produces Defensible Results

### Public Images

Community-maintained, general purpose base images.

High and unpredictable CVE counts

No compliance-aligned hardening

Unknown build provenance

Common Usage

Multi-Cloud, FedRAMP, Regulated IT

### Proprietary Images

Standardized, open, and ultra-secure.

Closed ecosystems and limited transparency

Opaque patching and dependency chains

Long-term vendor lock-in risk

Common Usage

Multi-Cloud, FedRAMP, Regulated IT
