Partnership significantly improved company’s operational efficiency by eliminating critical software vulnerabilities and fast-tracking certification audits by three months

RapidFort, the fastest growing cybersecurity company securing the global software supply chain, has partnered with ColorTokens Inc., a pioneer in Zero Trust security and leader in microsegmentation, to strengthen its containerized infrastructure security and optimize its federal compliance efforts. By leveraging RapidFort’s platform, ColorTokens notably reduced its attack surface by 77%, minimizing its security risks and improving security operations.

“RapidFort has measurably strengthened the security of both our cloud‑hosted SaaS platform and our on‑premise product,” said Harish Akali, CTO of ColorTokens, “It’s hardened container images, continuous scanning, and clear remediation guidance have cut our vulnerability backlog and supplied the evidence we needed to fast‑track FedRAMP, IRAP, and other certification audits.”

Like many organizations who enter the federal marketplace, ColorTokens was challenged by diverse third-party base images and complex DevSecOps workflows. The constant need to maintain stringent federal compliance standards, including FIPS and STIG, required a solution that would reduce vulnerabilities without overburdening engineering resources.

RapidFort helped ColorTokens address these challenges by:

  • Deploying FIPS and STIG aligned pre-hardened, near-zero CVE images for Ubuntu, Redis, Golang, and Node.js.
  • Reducing vulnerabilities through intelligent runtime profiling and automated removal of unused software components, dramatically reducing exposure and cutting down on manual patching efforts.
  • Embedding RapidFort’s runtime-aware scanner into CI/CD pipelines, providing continuous visibility, real-time vulnerability insights, and proactive control.
  • Accelerating compliance readiness by three months using built-in benchmarking and STIGing tools, simplifying the path to federal certifications like FedRAMP.

“Far too often, organizations must divert critical resources to remediate vulnerabilities and meet compliance requirements, rather than advancing core business priorities,” said Mehran Farimani, CEO of RapidFort. “By leveraging the RapidFort platform to optimize vulnerability management and minimize their security risks, ColorTokens was able to secure their software faster and with less strain on their teams, reducing the burden of meeting stringent federal compliance requirements.”
