1. Company / Organization Description
ActiveState enables DevSecOps teams to improve their security posture while simultaneously increasing productivity & innovation to deliver secure applications faster. The company provides a curated catalog of secure open source libraries and container images that can be consumed via artifact repository, CI/CD, IDE, or directly from ActiveState. For more than 25 years, ActiveState has been providing companies in regulated industries secure open source, beginning with Python, Perl, Ruby, and tcl, and now delivering more than 40+ million components across those languages as well as Go, Node, Java, Rust, R, and more. ActiveState continuously monitors and updates the open source components to help keep companies vulnerability-free. Companies using ActiveState see a 60-99% reduction in CVEs, improving their security posture, and save as much as 30% of developer time, eliminating the engineering toil typically associated with using open source in commercial applications.  


2. Core Principles or Values 
ActiveState’s Differentiators: 
1/Curate Your Secure Open Source Catalog: ActiveState delivers the complete catalog for your open-source tech stack. Give developers the tools they need using our library of over 40 million secure, rebuilt-from-source packages. Not in our catalog?—our AI-powered tooling will verify, rebuild and catalog it as needed. Components come with full provenance and can be packaged as runtimes, container images, and more. Your developers get the packages they actually want, security achieves rapid compliance, and teams move forward without approval bottlenecks.
2/AI-Powered Precision Remediation: Every SCA tool finds vulnerabilities—then leaves you to figure out the fix. ActiveState’s AI-powered remediation engine does what others can't: automatically analyze your entire dependency tree, identify the safest upgrade path, and implement the fix across your entire estate. Trained on millions of successful remediations, our AI knows which versions are compatible, which upgrades break production, and which path minimizes risk. When the next Log4Shell hits, you'll be patched before the news cycle ends while competitors are still reading advisories.
3/End-to-End Open-Source Security As a Service: Why compromise between speed, customization, and security when you can optimize for all three? ActiveState builds and maintains low-to-no CVE artifacts tailored to your exact specifications, proactively remediate vulnerabilities before they impact your operations, and provide direct access to open-source experts who bring decades of collective experience. You receive custom artifacts in as little as 48 hours, critical CVE patches typically within 7 days—all while maintaining the flexibility your team needs.
