RapidFort has secured $42 million in Series A funding, led by Blue Cloud Ventures and Forgepoint Capital, to accelerate the development of its next-generation software supply chain security platform. The funding will support the company’s mission to deliver automated, proactive defense solutions against the growing threat of supply chain attacks. As software development becomes increasingly reliant on third-party components and open-source libraries, the risk of vulnerabilities being exploited has surged. RapidFort’s platform leverages advanced automation and real-time threat intelligence to identify, prioritize, and remediate risks within software dependencies before they can be weaponized. The company’s technology enables developers and security teams to integrate security directly into the software development lifecycle, reducing the window of exposure and minimizing the impact of potential breaches. By focusing on speed and precision, RapidFort aims to help organizations stay ahead of attackers who increasingly target the weakest links in the software supply chain. The investment comes at a pivotal moment, as high-profile supply chain compromises continue to make headlines and regulatory scrutiny around software integrity grows. RapidFort’s approach is designed to meet the needs of enterprises and cloud-native organizations that demand faster, more reliable security without slowing down innovation. With the new capital, RapidFort plans to expand its engineering and product teams, enhance its detection and response capabilities, and deepen integrations with major development and DevOps tools. The company also intends to strengthen its go-to-market strategy to reach a broader customer base across industries. Blue Cloud Ventures and Forgepoint Capital bring not only financial backing but also strategic expertise in cybersecurity and enterprise technology. Their participation underscores growing confidence in RapidFort’s vision for transforming how organizations secure their software ecosystems. RapidFort joins a wave of startups redefining software supply chain security, driven by the urgent need to protect digital infrastructure in an era of constant threat evolution.
