With comprehensive Java coverage at 13M+ in its curated OSS catalog driven by on-demand catalog expansion, ActiveState further expands its industry-leading catalog of secure open source components.
ActiveState, the Open Source Security Posture Management (OSPM) platform, today announced it passed a critical milestone for ensuring users can automate the remediation of vulnerabilities in Java on the first attempt, now that its curated OSS catalog contains a critical mass of 13 million plus Java components. This coverage is driven by the company’s first-in-market approach to dynamically augmenting the catalog. Unlike solutions that rely on manually pre-building secure components, ActiveState’s platform automates the sourcing and securing of open source components on-demand, allowing it to rapidly grow the catalog in lock-step with customer needs. Using this approach, ActiveState has built out the industry’s largest curated catalog of secure open source software, which, with the inclusion of Java, stands at over 40 million unique artifacts and growing.

The inclusion of Java support means that security teams and DevOps engineers relying on this widely adopted language can now leverage ActiveState’s platform for unprecedented visibility into their OSS usage, risk prioritization, and automated remediation of vulnerabilities. This is crucial for organizations building enterprise applications using open source but who struggle with maintaining, upgrading, and understanding the implications of changes that may affect their first-party code.
“At ActiveState, we are committed to providing comprehensive open source security solutions, and I am particularly excited about our expanding language support,” saidย Pete Garcin, Senior Director of Product at ActiveState. “We already see a strong foundation with languages like Java; this progress underscores our dedication to ensuring organizations have the visibility and remediation capabilities they need across their critical technology stacks at exactly the point they need it.”
A robust curated open source catalog is the foundation for automated remediation – if the catalog doesn’t include the necessary components, automated remediation will fail, leaving an application vulnerable. The ActiveState platform, combined with its curated catalog, provides companies with the most complete vulnerability management capabilities, moving beyond simple detection to proactive fixes and secure deployments. It delivers three key capability areas, including:
