Many organizations use Open Source Software to speed up the development of their software. However, it turns out that between 70% to 90% of those components are not essential for the software to work. This poses a security risk for the organization as it increases its software attack surface. RapidFort's SASM Platform automatically identifies software components that are not needed during execution at Build time as well as at Run time. By removing these unnecessary components either manually, or automatically using RapidFort's tools, the attack surface, software weight and vulnerabilities can be reduced by approximately 80%. This enables developers to concentrate on building great software instead of spending time fixing vulnerabilities in code they didn't write, dramatically increasing the efficiency of the dev and security teams. Additionally, the optimized containers load faster and consume fewer resources, ultimately reducing the organization's cloud costs.
