Track Post-Deployment Vulnerabilities Across Your Live Environments
Expose Your Real-Time Attack Surface
Patch OSS Vulnerabilities Before Hackers Attack
Traditional security tools focus on catching vulnerabilities before software is deployed, but threats don’t stop there. New vulnerabilities in open-source packages are disclosed daily, long after software has been released into production. That’s where Ortelius steps in.
Ortelius continuously maps your software supply chain and actively monitors live environments to detect vulnerabilities that emerge post-deployment, when the risk is highest and time is critical. Unlike static SBOM solutions or pre-release scanners, Ortelius gives you a dynamic view of what’s actually running in production, staging, and test environments.
It connects the dots between CVEs reported by OSV.dev, deployed OS packages, and affected systems, providing:
-
Precise Impact Mapping – Instantly identify which applications, containers, or microservices are exposed to new CVEs
-
Actionable Intelligence – Understand exactly where vulnerable components are running across all environments
-
Faster Remediation Cycles – Reduce MTTR by focusing efforts on live, high-risk threats
With Ortelius, you’re no longer blind to what happens after deployment. You gain real-time, operational awareness of your software attack surface, so your teams can act fast and stay ahead of emerging threats.
The Ortelius Community, managed by the Continuous Delivery Foundation, maintains the latest version, with corporate support from DeployHub a Continuous Vulnerability Management platform designed to expedite remediation patches for the Enterprise.
Expose Your Real Time Attack Surface
Modern software is assembled from hundreds of components (i.e microservices, containers, libraries, AI Agents) each with potential security risks. Ortelius reveals where each component is running and what’s at risk when a new vulnerability hits.
- Visualize your live software footprint
- Track every package across all environments
- Detect high-risk CVEs after release
- Know instantly which assets are vulnerable
Why Post-Deployment Visibility Matters
Pre-release scans aren’t enough. New vulnerabilities are disclosed after deployment—often days or weeks later. Ortelius fills this critical gap by continuously tracking what’s live, what’s vulnerable, and what needs fixing.
- Real-time CVE exposure
- Live attack surface mapping
- Risk prioritization per environment
- Immediate action for remediation

Ortelius Use Cases
Extend Jenkins for Continuous Post Deployment Security
Ortelius extends Jenkins by adding continuous vulnerability monitoring for deployed applications. Unlike traditional SCA tools that scan source code or container images during the build, Ortelius focuses on what matters most: what’s actually running in production and is the most vulnerable to attack.

KeyNote:
- John Willis, Botchagalupe “AI-Powered Code Parsing and Semantic Analysis for DevOps Pipelines”
As software development ecosystems grow increasingly complex, the need for intelligent DevOps automation in script analysis and dependency management becomes critical. Join Jon Willis as he explores cutting-edge tools and techniques that leverage AI-driven code parsing and semantic analysis to enhance DevOps workflows. He will discuss the application of Large Language Models (LLMs) such as GPT-4, CodeBERT, and OpenAI Codex in parsing infrastructure and automation scripts, including Jenkinsfile, Dockerfile, Makefile, GitHub Actions, and Terraform. These models facilitate the identification of dependency installations (e.g., apt-get install, pip install, npm install) and pinpoint update points within scripts.

Our Inspiration
Abraham Ortelius
Abraham Ortelius made his name by collecting data from scientists, geographers, and cartographers of his time and transforming it into what the world now knows as a world Atlas. His Atlas, titled Theatrum Orbis Terrarum (Theatre of the World), was published on May 20, 1570. His Atlas disrupted the way the world was seen, with the first concepts imagining continental drift. Also of interest are the sea monsters shown in the water – mythical creatures that were a subject of fascination in Ortelius’ generation.
A Thought Leader in Sharing
Ortelius also in some ways created on open source community of his day. To accomplish his goal, he was the first cartographers to give credit to his fellow scientists by adding their names to the Atlas. Ortelius was known to have corresponded with other professionals throughout Europe and pulled together their knowledge to create his publication and a truly global view of the world.
Thank you Abraham Ortelius for showing us the way.
