Manifest Partners with NetRise for Firmware Intelligence
In a live incident, only one question matters: Are we exposed?
With a strong software supply chain security program you can answer for any exposures within code, containers, and the third-party stack. But when the investigation drops to the device layer, a blind spot appears. The firmware beneath the OS on gateways, routers, cameras, imaging systems, and more, sits beyond reach of your usual security tools.
Manifest turns that blind spot into a single operating picture, with our new partnership with NetRise. The Manifest Platform gives you a single operating picture from the software your teams build to what your vendors ship all the way down to compiled code and firmware on the device.
The Customer Challenges We Hear Every Week
- Firmware is opaque. Most teams do not have source code for vendor devices. Vendors are often unwilling to provide the source code, or SBOMs that would deliver a level of visibility to customers. Traditional SCA and container scanning never touch the binaries that ship in firmware.
- Risk is fragmented. Code, containers, third party apps, and devices live in different tools. That slows incident response and makes it hard to prioritize fixes across layers.
- Compliance is rising. SBOM and firmware transparency requirements are expanding across highly regulated industries. From White House Executive Orders, FDA Cybersecurity Guidance, and ISO/SAE 21434, proving what runs on critical devices is now table stakes in regulated industries.
- Legacy never went away. Hospitals, utilities, and manufacturers rely on long-lived equipment. The older the box, the less likely you have a clean inventory of what is inside.
One Platform, Deeper Visibility
You can now analyze firmware and embedded systems right inside the Manifest Platform. No vendor source code required. Our platform pulls in NetRise analysis to produce accurate SBOMs for firmware, flag vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, surface hard coded secrets and weak keys, and highlight components that auto run at startup or expose services on the network. Then we correlate that with everything else Manifest already tracks across code, containers, AI models, and third-party software to give you one prioritized queue of actions.
The result
- Actionable insight into what is actually running on your devices
- Deeper and more accurate risk assessments across the full stack
- Stronger alignment with emerging SBOM and firmware transparency requirements
- A critical gap closed with workflows your team already uses in Manifest
Bringing Solutions to Critical Infrastructure
Manifest serves the organizations that keep society running across government, healthcare, automotive, and the defense industrial base. Whether it’s an MRI machine, a connected vehicle, a factory gateway, or a mission system, teams need more than point-in-time scans or vendor claims. Our vision is unified technology transparency: a single, trustworthy view of everything inside your products and devices so you can see exposure, prove compliance, and act with confidence.
With Manifest, you get a full, defensible inventory of components and suppliers for any asset, down to compiled code and firmware, mapped to vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and operational impact. That means a hospital can understand exactly what’s inside legacy imaging systems, an automaker can trace software across ECUs, and a defense prime can validate supply chains across programs. One operating picture, one prioritized queue, from source code to firmware.
Who benefits
- Product Security teams that want one platform from build to device
- Third Party Risk programs that need proof of due diligence beyond contracts
- IT and OT Operations that must reduce downtime risk without slowing the plant
- Compliance owners who need defensible evidence for audits and renewals
Why now
Firmware and device software now sit squarely in scope for audits, renewals, and incident response. Waiting means accepting blind spots in systems that power patient care, transportation, and national security.
Manifest brings unified technology transparency into a workflow your teams can actually run. If you are ready to see your environment from source to firmware and turn visibility into action, schedule a walkthrough of the Manifest Platform.
