RAPIDFORT

RapidFort is a software supply chain security platform that helps enterprises eliminate vulnerabilities in containerized software through automated attack surface management and CVE remediation. Founded in 2020 by Mehran Farimani and Rajeev Kumar Thakur — veterans of EFI, Palo Alto Networks, and F5 Networks — the company's platform analyzes containers during development, test, or production and automatically removes unused software components, reducing the exploitable attack surface by up to 99.9% without requiring application code changes. RapidFort's product suite includes the RapidFort Analyzer for high-accuracy vulnerability analysis, Curated Images offering near-zero CVE container foundations, a Runtime Profiler for production visibility, and CART for automated compliance validation and remediation reporting. The platform serves finance, healthcare, government, and software industries and is listed in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Software Supply Chain Security. RapidFort raised a $42M Series A in February 2026 led by Blue Cloud Ventures and Forgepoint Capital.
