Manifest Product Security

Build secure and trusted software without losing velocity.

Identify and Resolve Supply Chain Risks, Fast

Supply chain threats are growing. Manifest Product Security helps you stay ahead by identifying and resolving risks before they impact your customers, compliance, or business velocity.

Manifest Product Security integrates early in the software development life cycle (SDLC) to support continuous innovation, securely.

  • Gain deep visibility into your product builds

  • Model and track risks as they evolve

  • Detect vulnerabilities early

  • Automate remediation to ensure continuous compliance

Blind Spots in your Software Supply Chain

Organizations increasingly rely on third-party and open-source software within the CI/CD pipeline, but most lack visibility into what’s actually running in production. Without this insight, vulnerabilities, license issues, and backdoors can slip through unnoticed.Traditional tools like Software Composition Analysis (SCA) fall short:
  • They scan individual repos, not full product systems
  • They generate noisy, low-context alerts
  • They don’t provide a clear path to resolution
This leaves security teams overwhelmed and under-informed, responding late, or not at all.

What you can do with Manifest Product Security

Manage the Full Lifecycle of SBOMs and VEX

Validate, enrich, generate, and securely share your software transparency data. Upload SBOMs in CycloneDX or SPDX formats, Product Security automatically validates them, heals format issues, and fills in missing metadata. Generate VEX documents in CSAF or OpenVEX to provide context around vulnerabilities, and ingest VEX from vendors to triage risk effectively.

    Evaluate Open Source Risk Before It Enters Development

    Assess open-source components directly from GitHub. With a single URL, analyze the security and license risks of third-party code before it enters your build process, so you can stop risky components at the gate.

    Customize Smart Vulnerability Alerts

    Cut through the noise with targeted alerting. Set your own thresholds and receive alerts based on:

    • CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV)

    • CVSS v3/v4EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System)

    • Manifest-recommended actions

    FAQs

    What is SBOM management and why is it important?

    SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) management refers to the process of generating, validating, updating, and sharing an inventory of all software components in a product. Software is the only thing we buy that we don’t have a list of ingredients or safety tests for. SBOMs enable visibility, vulnerability detection, and compliance across the software supply chain. With proper SBOM management, organizations can identify risks before they affect customers or operations.

    How does Manifest help with software supply chain security?

    Manifest Product Security offers a real-time view into your entire software supply chain, enabling early detection of vulnerabilities, license violations, and misconfigurations. It integrates SBOM and VEX support, automates exposure reports, and helps streamline incident response, making your software more secure without slowing development.

    What role does VEX play in managing software risk?

    VEX (Vulnerability Exploitability Exchange) documents provide context about whether a known vulnerability in a component actually affects your software. Manifest allows you to generate VEX in CSAF or OpenVEX formats and ingest VEX from third-party vendors, helping you prioritize what truly needs remediation.

    How does Manifest integrate into the software development life cycle (SDLC)?

    Manifest integrates at multiple stages of the SDLC to provide real-time risk visibility and policy enforcement. We recommend customers implement Manifest at the start of the SDLC, when open-source software (OSS) and third-party software are being evaluated for use. Manifest enables developers to upload SBOMs, receive alerts on vulnerable components, and assess open-source code before use, supporting secure development without sacrificing speed.

    How does Manifest improve compliance with software supply chain regulations?

    Manifest automates SBOM validation, generates VEX, and allows secure sharing of artifacts with regulators and partners. This simplifies compliance with standards from CISA, NTIA, FDA, the EU and other regulatory bodies, reducing manual effort and demonstrating maturity in your software assurance program.
