# Continuous Security for AI Software and Platforms

Secure AI infrastructure by reducing inherited vulnerabilities, minimizing runtime attack surface, and maintaining continuous security visibility across model pipelines and containerized environments.

## Why AI Infrastructure Accumulates Vulnerability Risk

### Dependency Sprawl
AI frameworks, Python libraries, and container base images introduce thousands of transitive dependencies.

### Rapid Iteration Cycles
Frequent model updates and pipeline changes make vulnerability remediation difficult to keep up with.

### Limited Runtime Visibility
Security teams lack insight into which components actually execute in production AI workloads.

## How RapidFort Reduces AI Software Risk

## Prioritize True Risk with Analyzer and Profiler Intelligence
Identify exploitable vulnerabilities using deep binary analysis and runtime context.

Generate SBOMs and Runtime Bills of Materials (RBOM™) for precise risk visibility.

Reduce scanner noise by validating CVE applicability.

## Start Secure with Curated Near-Zero CVE Foundations
Deploy CIS and DISA STIG-aligned Curated Near-Zero CVE Images.

Remove inherited vulnerabilities before AI services reach production.

Standardize secure container foundations across model training and inference workloads.

## Continuously Reduce Exposure with Optimizer and CART
Remove unused components to achieve up to 99.9% CVE reduction and up to 90% attack surface reduction.

Reduce attack surface by eliminating unused libraries and binaries.

Maintain a near-zero CVE posture with audit-ready evidence.

## Outcomes AI Teams Can Rely On

### Up to 99.9% CVE reduction
Achieved through hardened base images and automated attack surface reduction.

### Up to 90% attack surface reduction
Delivered by removing unused binaries and dormant runtime components.

### Faster audit preparation
SBOM, RBOM, and configuration evidence remain continuously ready for review.

### About 60% less manual remediation effort
Automation replaces repetitive vulnerability triage, exception handling, and patch cycles.

## Security Evidence Built Into Every Release

### SOC 2 Type II Readiness
Continuous vulnerability visibility and hardened container foundations support modern AI platform governance.

### ISO/IEC 27001 Alignment
Secure container foundations help maintain consistent infrastructure security controls.

### Global Compliance-Ready Cloud Environments
Hardened images and vulnerability visibility support FedRAMP, cATO, CMMC, CRA, NIS2, and SOC 2 regulated deployments in cloud environments.

### Platform Trust and Security Reviews
Provide security artifacts and software transparency needed for enterprise AI platform approval.
