Manifest Cyber
Vulnerability ManagementHTMwire assessment
Manifest Cyber is a software supply chain security platform that automates the generation, management, and continuous monitoring of Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) to surface vulnerabilities, licensing risks, and compliance gaps. The company explicitly serves medical devices and healthcare among its target industries, with workflows for exploitability-aware vulnerability management and AI/software supply chain governance. For hospital HTM teams this is a partial fit: the primary buyer is the medical device manufacturer producing the SBOMs, though healthcare providers also use it to inventory and assess third-party software risk.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Manifest Cyber serve hospitals or medical device manufacturers?
Both, but the core buyer is the medical device manufacturer producing SBOMs. Manifest lists medical devices and healthcare providers as named industries; hospital HTM teams can use it to inventory and assess third-party software risk, making it a useful but partial fit for the provider side.
What does Manifest Cyber actually do?
It generates, manages, and continuously monitors Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) - structured inventories of the software components inside a product - to flag known vulnerabilities (CVEs), licensing risks, and compliance gaps across the software supply chain.
Does Manifest Cyber support standard SBOM formats?
Yes. Manifest supports SPDX, CycloneDX, and VEX, the machine-readable formats FDA references for cyber device premarket submissions under Section 524B.
Does Manifest Cyber use AI?
Yes. Beyond software SBOMs, Manifest offers an AI Risk product pillar that continuously monitors GenAI models and supports AI supply chain governance.
