RapidFort + CrowdStrike: Closing the Container Vulnerability Gap

RapidFort + CrowdStrike: Closing the Container Vulnerability Gap

Application Development, Cloud, Cyber Security, DevSecOps /

RapidFort’s new integration with CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security targets the gap between vulnerability detection and remediation in Kubernetes environments. By ingesting SBOM and CVE data from Falcon and automating container image hardening, the two vendors aim to close a loop that has historically required significant manual intervention. The integration has particular relevance for federal and defense organizations operating in air-gapped environments.
