Secure, Custom Container Images

Everything you need to run your app and nothing else, all delivered in a regularly updated, low-to-no vulnerability container image.

From the base layer to app dependencies, ActiveState’s secure containers offer complete customization, full provenance, and none of the patching chaos.

Stop managing third-party code. Start running secure containers.

Spend More Time building

Stop the costly cycle of patching and remediation, and spend your development cycles writing business-critical code.

Stay Secure

Curate a secure, regularly updated open source repository to improve your security posture and create a scalable path to production for your applications.

Simplify Compliance

Use secure, custom containers to easily achieve and maintain complex compliance requirements without lengthy audit cycles.

Customize without compromise

Prevent vulnerable packages from entering your environment. Use over 40 million secure components to customize a container image that mitigates vulnerabilities across every layer of your container. You’ll get your container back with low-to-no CVEs, rebuilt from the base OS through every app dependency.

Battle tested build automation

Offload the process of building and maintaining custom images. Inherit the benefits of a secure, automated SLSA-3 build system to perform image customization with a standard remediation SLA of 7 days for critical CVEs and 14 days for all others.

Secure base images, rebuilt daily

Plug-in-and-play minimal, secure container images slot right into your CI/CD pipeline and provide a secure foundation for customization. Each image includes a signed SBOM and is rebuilt nightly to secure your workloads.

What to Expect

Meet the Team

Together with your team, we’ll learn more about your needs and review the requirements of your container.

We'll Handle the Build

From there, the ActiveState team will do the heavy lifting; we’ll build your container based off of your specifications.

Deploy to Production

All that’s left for you to do is to pull your container, watch your CVE count drop, and get it ready for deployment

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.

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.

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

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!

FAQs

What makes ActiveState containers more secure than standard base images?

ActiveState container images are assembled entirely from source to ensure low-to-no CVEs right out of the box.

Each image is rebuilt nightly and includes a signed SBOM and attestation.

Can I customize the container to fit my specific tech stack?

Yes. Any of our free containers can be further customized in collaboration with our Customer Success team. Customization leverages ActiveState’s catalog of 40M+ secure components, ensuring a secure container from the ground up.

How fast can I get a custom container back?

In most cases, your secure container will be delivered via a private repository for evaluation within a few business days. Specific timelines will be scoped based on your application requirements.

Do ActiveState containers help with compliance?

Absolutely. Available on demand, ActiveState container images can be further hardened to support strict compliance requirements (e.g., SOC 2, FedRAMP, etc.).
