ColorTokens Slashes Federal Compliance Timelines and Enhances Container Security with RapidFort
'RapidFort has measurably strengthened the security of both our cloud‑hosted SaaS platform and our on‑premise product,' said Harish Akali, CTO of ColorTokens, 'It's hardened container images, continuous scanning, and clear remediation guidance have cut our vulnerability backlog and supplied the evidence we needed to fast‑track FedRAMP, IRAP, and other certification audits.'
Like many organizations who enter the federal marketplace, ColorTokens was challenged by diverse third-party base images and complex DevSecOps workflows. The constant need to maintain stringent federal compliance standards, including FIPS and STIG, required a solution that would reduce vulnerabilities without overburdening engineering resources.
RapidFort helped ColorTokens address these challenges by:
Deploying FIPS and STIG aligned pre-hardened, near-zero CVE images for Ubuntu, Redis, Golang, and Node.js.
Reducing vulnerabilities through intelligent runtime profiling and automated removal of unused software components, dramatically reducing exposure and cutting down on manual patching efforts.
Embedding RapidFort's runtime-aware scanner into CI/CD pipelines, providing continuous visibility, real-time vulnerability insights, and proactive control.
Accelerating compliance readiness by three months using built-in benchmarking and STIGing tools, simplifying the path to federal certifications like FedRAMP.
'Far too often, organizations must divert critical resources to remediate vulnerabilities and meet compliance requirements, rather than advancing core business priorities,' said Mehran Farimani, CEO of RapidFort. 'By leveraging the RapidFort platform to optimize vulnerability management and minimize their security risks, ColorTokens was able to secure their software faster and with less strain on their teams, reducing the burden of meeting stringent federal compliance requirements.'
RapidFort, already available through Platform One, Tradewind Marketplace, AWS Marketplace, Microsoft Azure Marketplace, Google Cloud Marketplace, and Carahsoft, provides a reliable and efficient pathway for organizations looking to enter the federal marketplace and drive growth in the government sector.

QISITECH Redefines Exhibition Norms at the World Vape Show: A Live Showcase of Automated ODM Mastery
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates--(BUSINESS WIRE)--At the World Vape Show in Dubai (June 18–20, 2025), QISITECH's Geek Design team made a powerful statement by unveiling the industry's first live demonstration of a fully automated vape production line. This groundbreaking showcase highlighted the company's all-in-one ODM model—combining product development, branding, manufacturing, and marketing—with a strong focus on automation, precision, and speed-to-market. Powered by QISI Intelligent Manufacturing, the production line reflected the brand's design-for-manufacturing (DFM) and design-for-automation (DFA) principles. The system featured modular robotics, AI-driven vision systems, real-time quality control, and three automated stages: e-liquid cup assembly, finished product assembly, and packaging. The four machines on display were part of a complete automation ecosystem designed for scalable, high-efficiency output. QISITECH's ODM framework hinges on four core pillars: Product: Rigorous DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and DFA (Design for Automation) assessments ensure designs are production-ready from conception. Branding: Crafting distinct identities for products supported by global compliance (700+ certifications including TPD). Production: Leveraging QISI's 220,000 m² smart manufacturing campus, outfitted with 16 core-tech patents for modular production lines. Marketing: End-to-end support from POS materials to consumer engagement campaigns. The booth also featured popular products like the award-winning RAZ Series, Powered by Raz RYL, KRAZE, and bracelet-style KRAZE LUNA, as well as the high-performance i:FORCE line—showcasing QISITECH's broad development capabilities. What set this showcase apart was its transparency and interactivity. Visitors witnessed every production stage live, gaining insight into how real-time automation and integrated design can transform concepts into retail-ready products efficiently and reliably. QISITECH's strength lies in its 'three-in-one' model—smart manufacturing, digital control, and automation—supported by an agile supply chain that handles both pilot runs and large-scale production. Its rigorous quality systems (PQ, NPI, PE, SQ) and in-house process control ensure high yields with minimal deviation. With an independent R&D institute and design-driven culture, QISITECH continues to accelerate innovation. Future plans include expanded AI automation, age-verification tech, and a stronger end-to-end ODM offering. QISITECH's Dubai showcase re-imagined the trade show paradigm by bringing manufacturing to the forefront. By demonstrating how design, technology, and branding converge in real-time, the brand solidified its role as a leader in automated ODM, proving that innovation thrives where transparency and engineering excellence coexist.
