Frequently Asked Questions

What specific problem does this partnership solve?

The partnership addresses the fundamental challenge that enterprises face in securing containerized applications while maintaining development velocity. Traditional container security approaches focus on detecting vulnerabilities after they're already deployed, creating a reactive cycle of patching and remediation. Instead of reacting to vulnerabilities after they surface, RapidFort introduces a prevention-first security model, eliminating many conditions that allow vulnerabilities to exist in the first place.

How does this partnership differ from traditional container security solutions?

Most container security solutions focus on vulnerability scanning and detection, creating alert fatigue and reactive workflows. This partnership delivers a fundamentally different approach:

Traditional Approach:

  • Scan containers for vulnerabilities after they're built
  • Generate alerts for security teams to investigate
  • Manual patching and remediation cycles
  • High false positive rates from unused code vulnerabilities

Krumware + RapidFort Approach:

  • Start with hardened base images that eliminate 95% of vulnerabilities upfront
  • Runtime Protection shows you the code that is used in all of your running containers so you can zoom in on what's critical, prioritize what matters, and eliminate what doesn't
  • Automated attack surface reduction removes unused components
  • Platform engineering expertise ensures seamless adoption

What are the technical components of the integrated solution?
