The ActiveState Platform is built to handle the unique needs of your organization, making it easy to secure and de-risk your use of Python, Perl, and Tcl.

Get custom language distributions that contain just the code needed to run your applications, reducing the number of potential vulnerabilities and shrinking the attack surface.

Our catalog of open source components is regularly refreshed, enabling timely vulnerability fixes.

We build everything from source to make sure you’re getting the bits you expect (and not a compromised binary).

The Platform lets your developers make and maintain their own custom language builds, making security and risk management faster and easier.

Know the number and severity of vulnerabilities in your custom Python or Perl language distributions at a glance.

Get an email whenever a Python or Perl dependency in your custom distributions are found to have a vulnerability, speeding time to remediation. Coming Soon.

Managed CVE Scanning

We run security scans on your custom language distributions, removing the false positives and delivering easy-to-use reports to you. Our customers will soon have the option to see the number and severity of vulnerabilities in their Python projects at a glance, and get email-able reports as well.

We offer the maintenance and support you need to stay secure, meet compliance requirements, and deliver on your customer’s obligations.
