We're a team that's been taming open source complexity since 1997, helping organizations use open source without the security headaches and dependency chaos that usually come with it. Based in Vancouver, BC, we built the world's largest secure open source catalog - 79 million components rebuilt from source across 12+ language ecosystems. Our platform handles the messy work of tracking, triaging, and fixing vulnerabilities so developers can focus on building rather than constantly patching.
What we actually do day-to-day is pretty straightforward: we give enterprises a trusted way to consume open source languages like Python, Perl, Tcl, Node.js, Go, and more, with packages that are vetted, patched, and maintained by us. Our customers include 97% of the Fortune 1000, and they rely on ActiveState because we solve a real problem - unmanaged open source creates supply chain risks, license compliance issues, and endless toil for security teams. We provide the automated remediation, vulnerability blast radius analysis, and precision fixes that turn open source from a liability into a strategic advantage.
