Manifest secures the software supply chains of the world’s most critical institutions.

Automate every step of the SBOM lifecycle

Step 1: Collect & Generate

Generate and merge SBOMs from in-house applications, solicit SBOMs from your vendors, and store them all in a secure repository for sharing with approved parties.

Step 2: Enrich

Add valuable context to raw, difficult-to-interpret SBOM content through integrations with leading vulnerability and exploitability datasets.

Step 3: Visualize

Interact with SBOM content and vulnerability data in a beautiful platform purpose built for practitioners to analyze risks and make better decisions.

Step 4: Act

Turn SBOM and vulnerability data into outcomes via automatic ticketing, proactive outreach messaging, and risk reporting tailored for less technical audiences.

FAQs

What is an SBOM and why does it matter?

A Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) is a detailed inventory of every component inside your software, including open-source libraries, dependencies, and third-party code. It helps you identify hidden vulnerabilities, manage licensing risk, and comply with regulations like EO 14028 and NIST 800-218.

How does Manifest generate SBOMs?

Manifest automates SBOM generation across your entire application fleet,  in seconds. We support formats like SPDX, CycloneDX, and VEX, and go beyond repositories to analyze binaries, embedded code, and real-world deployments.

How is Manifest different from traditional SCA tools?

Traditional Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tools scan individual repos and often generate noisy alerts. Manifest offers universal technology transparency, assessing risk across your entire product line, including non-CVE threats, committer insights, and AI models.

How often should I update my SBOMs?

SBOMs should be generated continuously, not just when a product is released. Manifest supports real-time SBOM monitoring, enrichment, and vulnerability tracking so your inventory stays accurate, actionable, and audit-ready.
