RapidFort has released RapidFort Runtime, a security platform built to carry software supply chain protection from development all the way into active production environments. The announcement was made by Channel Insider and marks what the company describes as the first genuinely end-to-end continuous threat elimination solution. The platform addresses what security teams call the "production obsolescence" problem, where deployed software becomes vulnerable immediately upon launch due to newly disclosed security flaws.
The new platform delivers several core capabilities aimed at closing the gap between pre-deployment scanning and real-world runtime conditions. RapidFort Runtime uses agent-based profiling through BPF and ptrace instrumentation to track system calls, network and memory consumption, and process execution, providing cryptographic proof of what's actually running in production. It continuously produces Runtime Bills of Materials (RBOMs) for compliance audits, scans curated open-source libraries and hardened container images validated through ReversingLabs deep-binary malware analysis, and monitors live environments to spot and address CVEs that surface after deployment. The solution also establishes a verified baseline of approved software and continuously watches for changes to packages, binaries, libraries, processes, and runtime behavior, offering evidence of what shifted and where.
According to Rajeev Thakur, CTO at RapidFort, "Competing Software Supply Chain Security tools look only at pre-production software and lack any analysis during actual live runtime." The report notes that RapidFort is the first solution to monitor the runtime system to identify whether new CVEs have emerged that might affect the live production environment. The platform alerts administrators and developers to relevant security impacts and delivers actionable mitigation recommendations, separating first-party from third-party software and supplying evidence of the software and processes executing in production.
The solution's agent-based approach using BPF and ptrace technology provides what the company calls true runtime intelligence and execution evidence, cutting down on false positives and vulnerability noise compared to relying solely on static analysis or scanning. For managed service providers, managed security service providers, and other channel partners, the launch reflects a wider industry shift from point-in-time vulnerability checks toward continuous software security monitoring. Partners overseeing cloud-native applications, containers, and compliance-sensitive environments increasingly require visibility into what software is genuinely running after deployment, not just what showed up in a development scan.
RapidFort Runtime could offer those providers another method to cut vulnerability noise, document runtime activity, and pinpoint which newly disclosed CVEs represent a real threat to customer environments. The report concludes that the platform's value for the channel will hinge on how smoothly partners can weave that intelligence into existing security operations, remediation workflows, and managed compliance services. As software deployments grow more dynamic and supply chain attacks more sophisticated, solutions that bridge the gap between build-time scanning and production reality will likely become table stakes rather than differentiators.
