Manifest Cyber SBOM Platform
SBOM and AIBOM lifecycle management platform for software supply chain transparency and governance.
Vendor Information
Manifest Cyber SBOM Platform Overview
Manifest is a software and Artificial Intelligence (AI) supply chain transparency platform that manages the complete Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) and AI Bill of Materials (AIBOM) lifecycle for enterprises. The platform automates SBOM generation across entire application fleets in formats including Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX), CycloneDX, and Vulnerability Exploitability Exchange (VEX), while analyzing binaries, embedded code, and production deployments beyond traditional repository scanning. Manifest AI Risk extends these capabilities to GenAI models and datasets by enabling continuous monitoring of AI model provenance, enforcing governance policies, and tracking model lineage from development through deployment to address the blind spots organizations face when adopting large language models and AI systems.
The platform provides real-time vulnerability tracking with automated exposure reports that enable security teams to immediately identify blast radius during supply chain incidents like Log4Shell, reducing response time from weeks to minutes. Manifest facilitates vendor compliance by soliciting SBOMs from third-party software providers, validating submitted artifacts, healing format inconsistencies, and generating human-readable risk reports for procurement teams. The platform integrates throughout the software development lifecycle with automated policy enforcement, secure SBOM sharing with customers and regulators, and bi-directional VEX document support that contextualizes whether known vulnerabilities actually impact specific deployments. Organizations use Manifest to transform SBOM compliance from a regulatory burden into actionable security intelligence.
Founded in 2022 by veterans from Defense Digital Service, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and Palantir following the Log4Shell vulnerability crisis, Manifest serves the US Air Force, Department of Homeland Security, Defense Industrial Base, and Fortune 500 enterprises across financial services, healthcare, automotive, and critical infrastructure sectors. The company achieved FedRAMP High authorization in December 2024 and contributed to Protobom, the open-source SBOM translation tool developed collaboratively with CISA, Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology, and Open Source Security Foundation. Manifest has raised $23 million in funding from Ensemble VC, First Round Capital, Homebrew, and is available through NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement and ITES-SW2 government contracts via partnership with Carahsoft.
Key Capabilities
Standardized capabilities mapped to this product's security niche
Identifies hardcoded credentials, API keys, tokens, and private keys in source files. Operates on the repository and commit history, not at runtime.
Identifies packages with known-malicious behavior (typosquatting, dependency confusion, backdoored releases), distinct from packages with CVEs in legitimate code.
Imports or generates Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange documents asserting whether a known CVE actually affects a given product in its deployed context. Reduces false positives in downstream consumers of SBOMs.
Traverses the full dependency graph to surface CVEs in indirect dependencies, packages required by your direct dependencies. Direct-only scanning misses the majority of vulnerable code paths in modern polyglot projects.
Identifies OSS licenses in the dependency tree and flags conflicts with the project's target license or policy (GPL contamination, copyleft obligations, export-controlled components). Separate from vulnerability detection.
Exports the dependency inventory as a machine-readable Software Bill of Materials in SPDX or CycloneDX format, consumable by downstream vulnerability scanners, compliance tools, and procurement workflows.
