Secure Rust From Crate to Container

ActiveState builds Rust crates from source with full provenance, so your team gets the memory safety Rust promises alongside the supply chain security most registries don't.

Memory-safe code deserves a supply-chain-safe source

Rust eliminates entire categories of vulnerabilities at the language level. But crates pulled from public registries can still introduce dependency confusion, typosquatting, and unvetted transitive code. ActiveState closes that gap.

Full SBOM and build provenance for every crate

Continuous monitoring and SLA-backed remediation

Adoption is growing, and so is the attack surface

Rust's crate ecosystem is expanding rapidly. As more organizations adopt Rust for performance-critical and security-sensitive workloads, the dependency trees grow deeper. ActiveState builds and tracks every layer.

FAQs

How does ActiveState integrate with Cargo?

ActiveState provides vetted Rust crates through your existing artifact repository. Configure Cargo to resolve from your Curated Catalog instead of crates.io, and your builds pull from a verified source.

Isn't Rust already safer than other languages?

Rust's memory safety guarantees are a language-level feature. Supply chain security is a different problem entirely. Unvetted crates can still introduce vulnerabilities through unsafe code blocks, malicious dependencies, or compromised build artifacts.

Does ActiveState cover Rust's C/C++ FFI dependencies?

Yes. When Rust crates use FFI to call C or C++ libraries, ActiveState builds and tracks those dependencies alongside the Rust crates themselves.
