Fuss-free Open Source

Managed and secured for you, across any language and delivery method you need. The result? Innovation-focused devs and a more secure software supply chain.

Open source doesn't mean open risk.

Most development teams are trapped working with unmanaged, outdated, and vulnerable open source or burning valuable time on security updates. Break the cycle using our trusted catalog of vulnerability-free open source delivered right into your existing workflows.

STRENGTHEN SECURITY

Access Over 79M Secure Components

Transfer open source responsibility to our rapidly growing catalog of trusted, rebuilt-from-source and continually managed packages. Access any ecosystem without giving security a second thought.

ACCELERATE DEVELOPMENT

Open Source Packaged For Any Tech Stack

Container images for Kubernetes? Access to language libraries? Runtimes for development? Use our secure open source to support any development or deployment use case.

REDUCE ENGINEERING TOIL

AI Powered Vulnerability Remediation

New CVE discovered? Unclear dependencies from code generation tools? We’ve got it covered. Our AI-powered remediation instantly applies component-level fixes and resolves all dependencies. No one else out there can make this claim.

Container Security Without Compromise

Customize or build any image using over 79M secure, rebuilt-from-source components.

Why ActiveState?

Stop managing open source alone. Shift the responsibility from your team to ours—so you can focus on innovation, not incident response.

Strengthen Security Posture

Achieve up to a 99% reduction in CVEs when compared to community artifacts.

Reduce Costly Engineering Toil

Save ~4 hours of remediation per CVE— freeing developers to focus on new code.

Simplify Compliance

Meet complex compliance standards faster and cheaper.

Streamline open source management across your organization​

As you improve security protocols, refine development processes, or guarantee compliance, the ActiveState platform is designed to seamlessly adapt to the unique needs of every role within your global organization.

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.

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?

You only want to use vetted packages built from source.
You need secure container images for development and deployment.
Your team is wasting engineering cycles remediating vulnerabilities.
You need to meet complex compliance requirements such as FedRAMP.

What our clients say

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.
ActiveState UserGlobal DevOps Lead, Software industry
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!
