Webinar: Moving Beyond ActivePython & ActivePerl

Developers and IT teams have loved ActiveState’s community editions for over 20 years because they’re easy to use, simple to manage, and free. However, a lot has changed in the last two decades and all-in-one distributions like ActivePython and ActivePerl are no longer safe to use or simple to manage – especially in enterprise environments.

In this webinar, we discuss these pitfalls and demonstrate how the ActiveState Platform provides a modern alternative that streamlines package management and secures Python and Perl from the start of development, helping you deliver software to production faster and safer.

Learn how you can:

• Streamline package management – Automatically build packages from source and resolve dependencies, reducing time spent configuring and troubleshooting Python/Perl environments.
• Remediate vulnerabilities – Identify, resolve and automatically rebuild a secure environment in minutes, shortcutting the typically lengthy remediation process.
• Secure your software supply chain – Ensure packages are well maintained, vulnerability-free and suitably licensed for commercial use throughout the import-build-consume process, avoiding trojans and security threats.
