Manifest Cyber SBOM Platform Overview

What it does

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.

How it works

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.

Credentials and traction

Manifest received FedRAMP High authorization in December 2024, and its security page states SOC 2, ISO 27001, DoD Impact Level 5 (IL-5), NIST 800-171, and GDPR compliance. The company serves federal agencies and defense partners and was awarded four Department of Defense pilots in 2024. Manifest supports the space and automotive sectors through its Space ISAC (2024) and Auto-ISAC (2025) partnerships.

Key Capabilities

mapped to solution categories
Software Composition Analysis (SCA)

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.

Prioritizes dependency vulnerabilities using exploitation signals such as EPSS probability and the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, ranking findings by real-world exploitation likelihood rather than CVSS severity alone.

Identifies open source and third-party components in compiled binaries and closed-source artifacts where no package manifest exists.

Defines open source policies (banned licenses, blocked packages, version floors, severity gates) as version-controlled rules applied automatically at scan time across repositories.

Scores open source dependency health using release cadence, maintainer count, contributor reputation, and popularity, flagging abandoned packages beyond known CVEs.

AI Bill of Materials (AIBOM) Management

Discovers and catalogs AI models, LLM API connections, ML pipelines, training datasets, and AI-enabled SaaS applications in use across the organization, including unauthorized deployments.

Exports AI system inventories in SPDX AI extension or CycloneDX ML profile format for downstream consumption by compliance tools, procurement workflows, and regulators.

Records the origin, training data sources, and modification history of AI models, supporting integrity verification and accountability for AI system behavior.

Generates documentation artifacts for EU AI Act conformity assessment and NIST AI RMF profile, mapping AI system inventory and controls to applicable requirements.
