RapidFort, one of the fastest-growing cybersecurity companies focused on securing the global software supply chain, has positioned itself as the leading alternative to Bitnami’s now-deprecated image registry. The company offers a comprehensive catalog of Bitnami-compatible, production-ready container images designed to reduce vulnerabilities, streamline compliance, and maintain operational continuity.

As enterprises adapt to the changes in Bitnami’s image catalog, RapidFort provides curated container images that deliver near-zero CVEs while preserving existing workflows. This cost-efficient solution helps organizations strengthen long-term security and compliance without disrupting current processes.

Bitnami’s move to a subscription-based image service has disrupted over 500 million image pulls, creating sudden risks to stability, compliance, and security across industries. For many enterprises, the estimated cost of replacing these images ranges from $100,000 to $500,000 annually. RapidFort’s offering provides a more affordable and secure pathway forward.

“We started RapidFort to give organizations the confidence to scale without compromising security,” said Mehran Farimani, CEO of RapidFort. “As the container ecosystem evolves, teams need dependable tools. Our focus remains on helping enterprises adapt quickly and securely while upholding the standards they depend on.”

AI-Driven Container Security at Scale

RapidFort’s AI-powered platform continuously analyzes runtime environments to eliminate unnecessary components, resulting in lighter, faster containers. On average, this approach delivers:

~95% reduction in CVEs

Up to 80% smaller container images

Complete vulnerability elimination for many popular stacks

Every image in RapidFort’s catalog is SLSA Level 3 certified, non-root, and cryptographically signed, with added layers of security such as zero-day protection, SBOMs, VEX documentation, provenance tracking, and continuous monitoring. The platform currently offers 200+ hardened images across common infrastructure, developer stacks, and DevOps tools.
