USE CASES

Reduce Vulnerability Risk

Manifest automates vulnerability discovery, scoring, and action workflows, so you can move from noise to prioritized insights, responding to critical threats in seconds, not months.

What is Vulnerability Management?

Vulnerability Management is the continuous process of identifying, prioritizing, and remediating security flaws across software and supply chains.

Manifest redefines this process by making it smarter, automated, and actionable, giving teams clarity on what to fix first, not just a long list of CVEs.

Why Smarter Prioritization is Key

Too many alerts, too little clarity. Traditional vulnerability scanning leaves teams buried under false positives and low-priority issues. Manifest changes this with:

Code Reachability Analysis

Determine if a vulnerability is actually reachable in your code before escalating.

Risk-Based Prioritization

Rank vulnerabilities by exploitability (KEV, EPSS) and business criticality, not just CVSS severity.

Flexible Response

Prioritize and triage directly in Manifest or push prioritized tasks into Jira, ServiceNow, or other tools.

The Challenges of Traditional Vulnerability Management Workflows

Even with SBOM data, most workflows fail because:

  • CVSS-only scoring inflates noise.

  • Manual triage inflates noise.

  • Communication with stakeholders is slow.

  • Teams can't track what's fixed, ignored, or mitigated.

How Manifest Empowers Stronger Vulnerability Management Programs

Detect & Enrich

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.

Smarter Prioritization

Apply code reachability and vulnerability disposition analysis to highlight what’s exploitable and relevant.

Less Noise, More Action

Eliminate false positives, reduce triage overhead, and focus on real threats.

Automated Workflows

Prioritize and remediate directly in Manifest or push into existing tools. Generate VEX/CSAF automatically for transparent communication.

Track & Communicate

Maintain full audit trails, remediation progress, and compliance-ready records.

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.
