NOMINATION HIGHLIGHTS

Manifest is transforming what it means to secure the modern digital ecosystem. Our innovation is built on a bold and timely premise: the future of cybersecurity hinges on universal transparency, not just across software, but increasingly across the rapidly evolving AI supply chain.

At the forefront of this evolution, Manifest has pioneered the concept of the AI Bill of Materials (AIBOM) a structured, actionable inventory of AI systems, including model components, training data provenance, licensing, model lineage tracking, and operational risk signals. With over 700 AI programs active across U.S. federal agencies alone, securing the AI supply chain is now as urgent as securing the software that enables it. Manifest empowers organizations to continuously track, validate, and govern their AI systems, ensuring trust, accountability, and compliance in real time.

But securing AI doesn’t happen in isolation. Our platform also delivers comprehensive, automated visibility into the entire software supply chain, generating SBOMs for every first-party build and ingesting third-party SBOMs for persistent monitoring. In a landscape where only 11% of open-source repositories are actively maintained and 72% of security professionals name supply chain as their biggest blind spot, Manifest enables organizations to go beyond static compliance—making supply chain risk management dynamic, predictive, and responsive.

We further extend our innovation to regulatory assurance. Manifest streamlines audit readiness for complex frameworks: from the FDA’s cybersecurity mandates to CISA’s secure development guidance by providing a unified system of record for software and AI transparency. Whether validating compliance or enforcing secure-design principles, organizations use Manifest to turn visibility into verifiable action.

Our commitment to trust and operational excellence is validated through our status as the only FedRAMP High Authorized platform focused on software and AI supply chain security. We are trusted by Fortune 100 enterprises and mission-critical government agencies because we don’t just track components, we govern the full technology stack.

In a future where AI and software are deeply intertwined, Manifest is delivering the infrastructure to secure both. We’re not just responding to today’s threats, we’re defining how the next generation of technology will be made secure, accountable, and transparent from the inside out.
