Improve operational efficiency, strengthen your security posture, and increase developer agility

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By implementing the ActiveState platform, you can save money and simplify the tech stack needed to innovate freely with open source. 

#### Observe

The ActiveState platform automates discovery and catalogs all the open source across your organization to ensure you always have a pulse on what’s being used, where, and by whom.

**  

Stay secure with visibility into all your open source including K8s, Docker registries, GitHub repos, SBOMs, and more.**

#### Remediate

The ActiveState platform automatically updates to a secure version when a vulnerability arises. All packages are built in a hardened environment and undergo running verification tests. 

**Move faster** by reducing the time your developers spend managing vulnerabilities and upgrading your dependencies.

#### Collaborate

The ActiveState platform manages your entire SDLC, integrating with everything from artifact repositories to CI/CD pipelines allowing your DevSecOps teams to work more effectively together.

**  

Lower costs** while improving communication by using one platform to secure your software supply chain.

DevOps Developers Security

Improve efficiency

------------------

*   Use one tool to handle all your dependencies, licenses, and vulnerabilities and give your teams a “paved road” to efficiency and security.   

*   Build software in a repeatable manner by getting everyone on the same environment across Windows, Mac, or Linux.   

*   Speed up builds without compromising security with automated dependency vendoring.  

*   Increase collaboration with visibility into all open source components across your organization.

Drive innovation

----------------

*   Focus on building features instead of fixing code as ActiveState handles all first-party code refactoring.  

*   Reproduce builds indefinitely for when a customer requests a bug for you to investigate.  

*   Use open source responsibly with 10,000+ vetted packages built from source.  

*   Download your project’s runtime environment with one-click, there’s no need to configure your dev environment for it to work.

[View Platform](https://www.activestate.com/products/platform/)

Maintain robust security

------------------------

*   Generate SBOMs and attestations on demand to prove you’re secure.  

*   Automate vulnerability detection and remediation, decreasing both MTTR and MTTD.  

*   Shift security left with trusted distributions built from source in a hermetic build system.  

*   Monitor and share updates on CVEs with a dedicated dashboard and downloadable reports.

Will **ActiveState** work for me?

[Book a Demo](https://www.activestate.com/book-demo/)

You only want to use vetted packages built from source.

You need to prove security with SBOMs and attestations.

You don’t know what open source your team is using and that scares you!

Your team is always upgrading and you don’t want your code to break.

I don't have to think too much about security and the complications anymore because ActiveState does it for me.

Stacy LeonSr. Technical Specialist, Altair

In a place where you don't have this infrastructure set up, \[ActiveState\] is turnkey and a no brainer. Other build environments are garbage next to yours!

ActiveState UserApplication Support Engineer, Data & Governance industry

ActiveState is so seamless that the business can function even with turnover and little training. The lights stay on and the engineers don't have to worry about what languages they are using to add value.

Ashish SaxenaDirector of Engineering, Druva

ActiveState is in a good position. You're already well down the SLSA route and I think that's extremely important as more and more of the SSDF will come into the attestation.
