How is ActiveState different from a vulnerability scanner?

Scanners detect vulnerabilities after they're in your code. ActiveState prevents vulnerable components from entering your environment, and automatically remediates the ones already in your catalog when fixes become available.

What happens when no upstream fix exists?

ActiveState continuously monitors for available upstream fixes. When no fix is available, ActiveState provides full visibility into the vulnerability and its impact through your security feed. VEX data helps you prioritize real risk versus false positives.

Does remediation apply to containers too?

Yes. All ActiveState Secure Container images are automatically remediated and rebuilt on the same SLA. The same applies to packages in your Curated Catalog and Secure Runtimes.

How does ActiveState reduce scanner noise?

VEX advisories on every component flag which CVEs actually affect your specific usage. Scanners that consume VEX data will automatically filter out false positives, reducing alert fatigue by roughly 68%.
