New integration helps joint customers accelerate container vulnerability remediation across Kubernetes environments by combining the comprehensive cloud security capabilities of Falcon Cloud Security with RapidFort automated container image hardening.
As AI accelerates vulnerability discovery and shortens the window between CVE disclosure and potential exploitation, organizations running Kubernetes at scale face increasing pressure to address vulnerabilities faster. Containerized workloads can inherit vulnerabilities from open-source base images and packages, creating significant remediation demands across large environments.
The integration enables RapidFort to ingest vulnerability and software bill of materials (SBOM) data from Falcon Cloud Security and use it to automate container image hardening. RapidFort curated image library and runtime profiling capabilities help eliminate identified vulnerabilities and remove unnecessary components without requiring changes to application code. Together, CrowdStrike and RapidFort help joint customers streamline vulnerability management and accelerate risk reduction across Kubernetes environments.
“AI-accelerated vulnerability discovery has made speed increasingly critical for organizations running Kubernetes at scale,” said George Manuelian, CSO, RapidFort. “Our integration with CrowdStrike brings RapidFort automated image hardening into the vulnerability management workflow, helping joint customers move faster from identifying risk to reducing it. RapidFort customers have reduced CVEs by up to 99.9% with our hardening technology, without requiring changes to application code.”
For organizations with stringent security and compliance requirements, including Department of Defense environments, RapidFort supports hardened container images, compliance reporting, and deployment across restricted and air-gapped environments.
