ActiveState launched the ActiveState Curated Catalog, which provides organizations with a private, secure repository of open source components from the ActiveState Library, giving developers and AI code generators access to vetted packages from a trusted internal source instead of pulling them directly from the open internet.
"Developers need speed, while security teams need control and too often they're forced to compromise," says Bob Shaker, CPTO of ActiveState. "The Curated Catalog eliminates that tradeoff by giving organizations a private library of trusted, rebuilt-from-source open-source components that developers can consume directly in their workflows and from within AI code generators. With the largest multi-ecosystem catalog of verified components, ActiveState enables enterprises to scale open source safely across 12-plus language ecosystems — capabilities most solutions simply can't deliver."
Key takeaways:
· By leveraging a multi-ecosystem library of more than 79 million rebuilt-from-source components, along with native tooling integration, ActiveState empowers teams to feel more confident to build at scale, while taking the responsibility of security off engineering's shoulders.
- Secure AI coding enablement reduces the risk of open source in AI-generated code by grounding code generators in ActiveState's Curated Catalog. This ensures every AI-generated component meets enterprise security standards, providing the necessary guardrails to prevent "AI blindness."
- Built-from-source components gives organizations access to a library of more than 79 million trusted open source components rebuilt from source in ActiveState's SLSA Level 3–compliant infrastructure.
- Native integration with artifact repositories packages are delivered in native formats, and are compatible with existing tools and CI/CD pipelines.
- Continuous oversight and remediation sends security teams daily updates on every component in their catalog, with alerts highlighting critical patches or newly discovered vulnerabilities.
