ActiveState

Platform for building secure open source language runtimes and managing dependency vulnerabilities.

ActiveState builds Python, Perl, and other language distributions from vetted source, giving teams reproducible runtimes and a way to track and remediate vulnerable dependencies. Platform engineering and security teams use it to control open source risk without maintaining their own build infrastructure. The company dates back to 1997 and is owned by Vertu Capital.
