SBOM on Rails
Shift5 needed a faster, scalable way to generate and deliver SBOMs across global regulatory frameworks. With Manifest, the team automated SBOM workflows, reduced manual effort, and improved visibility across their product line.
Results
“Manifest enabled us to generate high-quality SBOMs in under 90 seconds, streamlining delivery across regions and customers.”
The Challenge
