ActiveState launched its Vulnerability Management as a Service (VMaas) offering to help organizations manage open source and accelerate secure software delivery.

ActiveState's Vulnerability Management as a Service combines Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) and Intelligent Remediation capabilities with expert guidance. This solution enables DevSecOps teams to not only identify vulnerabilities in open source packages, but also to automatically prioritize, remediate, and deploy fixes into production without breaking changes, ensuring that applications are truly secured.

"DevOps teams tell us they spend tens of thousands of hours each year sifting through alerts, researching whether vulnerabilities are reachable and if fixing them might break current functionality, prioritizing what to fix first, and then making sure the work gets done," said Scott Robertson, CTO, ActiveState. "ActiveState's Vulnerability Management as a Service zeroes in on these challenges, and acts as a DevOps co-pilot that removes the tedium and time-consuming nature of the tasks while giving them the control they desire to get the job done quickly and effectively."

"For too long, companies have had to suffer the consequences of tools that only get them half way through the vulnerability management process and leave them exposed for too long," said Stephen Baker, CEO, ActiveState. "With ActiveState's Vulnerability Management as a Service, which marries technology with open source expertise, they can finally experience the outcomes they've been promised but not yet realized. I'm excited to see how this changes the vulnerability management landscape."
