Defense Unicorns Accelerates Secure Software Delivery for Defense Missions with RapidFort
Partnership strengthens software security posture and enables faster deployments for defense environments SAN FRANCISCO, August 19, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RapidFort, the fastest growing cybersecurity company securing the global software supply chain, has partnered with Defense Unicorns, a veteran-owned defense tech startup, to scale and strengthen its container infrastructure while accelerating deployment of its secure runtime platform for defense missions, Unicorn Delivery Service (UDS). By leveraging RapidFort's platform and Curated Near-Zero CVE Images, Defense Unicorns achieved a near-zero CVE state across the UDS platform, accelerated delivery, enhanced compliance, and optimized deployment without the overhead of building internal hardening pipelines. "RapidFort's experience within classified environments and collaborative approach has made them a trusted partner in helping us deliver secure, reliable software to the teams who need it most, without slowing down mission-critical deployments," said Rob Slaughter, CEO of Defense Unicorns. "Their curated images, FIPS-validated modules, and hands-on support enabled our teams to meet compliance requirements effortlessly while accelerating delivery." Like many organizations delivering software in classified environments, Defense Unicorns faced the challenge of hardening software containers at scale, without delaying delivery. This prompted them to make a "build vs. buy" decision and, after evaluating multiple options and the current ecosystem of secure container vendors, they selected RapidFort as the most effective partner to meet their operational and security goals. RapidFort and Defense Unicorns addressed these challenges by: Eliminating over 98% of critical and high CVEs in the UDS Core platform compared to upstream images. Delivering FIPS-validated modules across all 32 UDS Core images to support deployments in compliance-sensitive environments. Reducing image sizes by a total of 140MB (5.9%), accelerating deployment in low-bandwidth and tactical edge environments. Providing engineering collaboration to support fast turnaround on FIPS-compliant builds and resolve emerging issues. Enabling Defense Unicorns to harden containers for its proprietary products, such as the UDS Registry, an OCI-compliant registry launched in June 2025. "Security and speed are equally mission-critical in defense environments, but for many companies, achieving both can feel impossible," said Mehran Farimani, CEO of RapidFort. "By leveraging RapidFort's platform and Curated Near-Zero CVE Images, Defense Unicorns proved that it's possible to accelerate the delivery of secure, compliant software, without compromising mission readiness." RapidFort, available through Platform One, Tradewind Marketplace, AWS Marketplace, Microsoft Azure Marketplace, Google Cloud Marketplace, Carahsoft, and now Azul provides organizations with a reliable and efficient pathway to secure their software supply chain.
