What we do

ActiveState provides the world's largest library of secure, built-from-source open source components. We deliver them through the tools your developers and AI coding assistants already use. Security teams get full provenance, SBOMs, and continuous remediation. Developers get secure versions of packages they need without changing their workflow.

Securely built from source

Direct, transitive, and OS-level dependencies.

Compatible with your artifact repository, AI coding assistants, and CI/CD.

Across 12 language ecosystems

One catalog, one source of truth.

Our values

Embrace new thinking

What gets us to tomorrow's goals is not what got us to today's. To achieve our ambitions, we must question the status quo, seek out new ideas, and constantly experiment.

Take ownership

Activators act on behalf of the company, our customers, and the bigger picture. We make it our responsibility to make sure things are done and done well.

Speak up

None of us is always right nor has all the answers. An idea, critique, or question gone unspoken may mean the difference between our success and failure.

Obsess about our customers' success

Activators relentlessly pursue ways to make our customers successful. We are never satisfied, and we never just tick a box.

Empower others to  be their best

We maintain high standards, offer ongoing support, and deliver continuous feedback to unlock the talent within our team, our community, and our customers. When we get this right, something magical happens.

The team setting direction at ActiveState.

Decades of combined experience in open source, security, and enterprise software, leading the company that's been securing developer ecosystems since the late 90s.
