Your One Stop For Secure, Trusted Open Source







Open source doesn't mean open risk.
Most development teams are trapped working with outdated, vulnerable open source or burning valuable time on security updates. Break the cycle using our trusted catalog of vulnerability-free open source for any tech stack.
STRENGTHEN SECURITY
Access Over 40M Secure Components
Transfer open-source responsibility to our rapidly growing catalog of trusted, rebuilt-from-source 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? Package 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. Our AI-powered remediation instantly applies component-level fixes, and resolves dependencies.

Streamline open source management across your 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.
