RapidFort’s hardened, near-zero CVE, image catalog offers Bitnami compatibility and simple migration, reducing CVEs by up to 100% while helping maintain compliance, strengthen security, and reduce costs

RapidFort, the fastest growing cybersecurity company securing the global software supply chain, emerges as the clear leader in this transition, offering curated near-zero CVE images compatible with Bitnami helm charts, as enterprises seek alternatives to Bitnami’s recently deprecated image registry. With a catalog of Bitnami-compatible, production-grade container images, RapidFort enables organizations to maintain operational continuity while strengthening security and streamlining compliance.

Bitnami’s transition to a subscription-based image catalog has affected more than 500 million image pulls, forcing teams to remediate sudden risks in operational stability, compliance, and security. Many organizations project replacement costs to be between $100,000 and $500,000 annually. RapidFort’s curated images offer a cost-effective replacement that preserves existing workflows while strengthening long-term security and compliance.

“We started RapidFort with the purpose of giving organizations the confidence to scale without sacrificing security,” said Mehran Farimani, CEO of RapidFort. “As the container ecosystem continues to evolve, teams need reliable tools that they can trust. We remain focused on helping teams adapt quickly and securely without compromising the standards they rely on.”

RapidFort’s AI-powered platform analyzes runtime to remove unused components, producing smaller, faster containers with an average ~95% CVE reduction and up to ~80% smaller images; for many popular stacks it eliminates all known vulnerabilities. Each SLSA Level 3, non-root image includes continuous monitoring and hardening, zero-day protection, cryptographic signing, provenance, SBOMs and VEX, and the catalog spans 200+ hardened images across common infrastructure, developer stacks and DevOps tooling.

RapidFort’s runtime scanner integrates with Helm charts, GitOps and Kubernetes operators with no app changes, inventories images to flag safe replacements, and enables validation and rollout in under four weeks with automated tests and blue-green deployment with rollback, supporting no-downtime migration and compliance with SOC 2, PCI DSS and NIST through minimized scope, distroless execution, audit trails and continuous control validation.

To begin your transition, schedule a 30-minute assessment to evaluate current Bitnami image usage and identify compatible RapidFort alternatives. With the help of RapidFort’s team, organizations can develop a customized transition strategy and complete rollout in under four weeks, resulting in long term improvements in security, compliance, and operational efficiency.
