Where ActiveState & ComponentSource Intersect

At ActiveState, our core mission is to transform how organizations manage open source security, addressing the critical gap where vulnerability alerts often fail to translate into deployed fixes. Our Open Source Security Posture Management Platform is designed to automate and streamline the entire process, empowering DevSecOps teams to secure their software supply chain with confidence and efficiency. This recognition from ComponentSource highlights the market’s growing need for a solution that goes beyond mere detection to offer intelligent remediation.

ActiveState’s Open Source Security Posture Management

Our platform is built on three critical capabilities, or “pillars,” that collectively provide a comprehensive solution for modern software development challenges:

  • Discover – Know Your True Risk with Vulnerability Blast Radius: Traditional tools often leave organizations guessing about the true scope of vulnerabilities. ActiveState provides unparalleled visibility into open source landscapes, helping you understand not just what is vulnerable, but how deeply those vulnerabilities extend across your organization. We achieve this through proprietary dependency intelligence, leveraging the world’s largest open source database with over 40 million unique artifacts and decades of build expertise. This allows for universal dependency management, aggregation of open source components from various sources, and continuous vulnerability monitoring across all environments, from developer desktops to production clusters.
  • Prioritize – Fix What Matters Most with Risk Prioritization Copilot: Not all vulnerabilities pose the same level of risk, and not all fixes are worth the disruption. Our AI-powered Risk Prioritization Copilot helps security operations teams cut through the noise and focus on critical issues. It offers proactive breaking change detection, assessing how updates might affect licenses, dependencies, and vulnerabilities before they disrupt workflows. The platform also provides a comprehensive risk remediation workflow, including centralized policy management and support for crucial attestation documents like SBOMs and VEX. This accelerates security processes by integrating with existing tools and providing collaborative analytics dashboards.
  • Remediate – Solutions, Not Suggestions with Precision Remediation Pipeline: Identifying vulnerabilities is only half the battle; the real challenge is implementing secure fixes quickly and efficiently. ActiveState’s Precision Remediation Pipeline automates this crucial last mile. It provides automated component-level intervention, applying tested and permanent fixes, including adaptive patch forwarding and backporting for legacy software maintenance. Our secure build generation ensures trustworthy builds from source in a hardened environment, producing multi-format binary outputs like Docker images or RPM packages. This entire pipeline offers extensible integration with existing CI/CD tools and workflows, seamlessly fitting into your development processes.

The impact of ActiveState’s platform is tangible for various stakeholders across an organization:

  • Developers can reclaim up to 30% of their time previously wasted on manual dependency triage and focus on building innovative features.
  • DevOps teams can slash incident response times from months to hours through automated and auditable workflows, simplifying the complexities of managing open source dependencies.
  • Security teams can reduce their attack surface by over 70% with proactive risk controls and ensure compliance with evolving regulations.
  • Executives can transform open source from a potential risk into a strategic asset, sleeping better knowing their software supply chain is secure and future-proof.
  • Unlike other tools that merely suggest fixes, ActiveState delivers them. Our platform fills the gaps by transforming SBOMs into intelligent remediations, providing secure, quick, and automated deployments. This end-to-end approach addresses the challenges of vulnerability management, which is often a largely manual and time-consuming process for many organizations.

This recognition by ComponentSource as a bestselling brand and a top publisher in their 2025 awards is a strong validation of our dedication to innovation and our role as an industry leader. It reinforces that ActiveState is not just another tool but a comprehensive solution that empowers organizations to tame open source complexity, secure their software supply chains, and accelerate innovation. 

We are proud to be at the forefront of automated, intelligent open source security, helping our customers build a more secure digital future.
