Generate, maintain, and share SBOM and VEX artifacts that reflect what actually ships and stay defensible as software, vulnerabilities, and decisions change.
SBOMs and VEX are now expected by customers, regulators, and partners, but most teams still treat them as point-in-time deliverables.
Teams struggle because:
The result is SBOMs and VEX that exist but aren’t trusted.
SBOM and VEX shouldn’t be files you regenerate under pressure. They should be living artifacts continuously derived from shipped software, exposure analysis, and documented decisions.
Finite State treats SBOM and VEX as part of an ongoing workflow—grounded in firmware and binaries, updated automatically as software evolves, and backed by evidence that holds up to scrutiny.
This is enabled by:
Start with what actually ships.
SBOMs are generated directly from firmware, binaries, and source, producing a reconciled inventory that reflects real components, versions, and relationships present in the product.
This avoids gaps caused by missing manifests, build assumptions, or supplier declarations alone.
What you get: SBOMs grounded in shipped reality, not best guesses.
Consolidate internal and third-party views into a single inventory.
Supplier SBOMs are ingested, normalized, and reconciled against internally derived SBOMs. Differences are surfaced explicitly, rather than silently accepted.
This creates a portfolio-wide view of component usage across products and versions.
What you get: A consistent, unified SBOM system of record.
Move from declarative VEX statements to evidence-backed decisions.
VEX statuses are determined using reachability analysis and exploit context, not just vulnerability presence. Each decision is tied directly to:
Decisions persist across releases and are automatically re-evaluated when software or exposure changes.
What you get: Defensible VEX decisions that stay current over time.
Keep artifacts accurate without manual rework.
As new builds ship, dependencies change, or new CVEs are disclosed, SBOM and VEX artifacts are automatically updated. Previously “not affected” decisions are re-checked, and changes are surfaced immediately.
What you get: SBOM and VEX that remain trustworthy, not stale.
Produce standardized, shareable outputs at any point.
SBOM and VEX artifacts can be exported in accepted formats and packaged with supporting evidence for customers, partners, and regulators.
Artifacts are traceable back to shipped software and documented decisions.
What you get: Fast, confident responses to external requests.
With SBOM and VEX treated as living artifacts, teams can:
Respond faster to customer and regulatory requests
Maintain trust in shared security artifacts
Reduce manual effort and inconsistency
Avoid stale or contradictory disclosures
SBOM and VEX stop being compliance chores and start becoming signals your team can rely on.
Generate, maintain, and share SBOM and VEX with confidence—across every release.

SBOMs are derived directly from shipped firmware and binaries to validate component presence and relationships.
Impact: Eliminate blind spots and build trust in your SBOMs.
Supplier SBOMs are reconciled against internally derived SBOMs, with conflicts and gaps surfaced explicitly.
Impact: Portfolio-wide component visibility without manual reconciliation.
VEX statuses are derived from reachability analysis and exploit context, with documented, reproducible justification.
Impact: VEX statements that withstand customer and regulator scrutiny.
SBOM structures and VEX decisions remain consistent across products, variants, and releases.
Impact: Fewer contradictions, faster response, higher confidence.
AgentOS ensures VEX decisions are evaluated consistently and re-validated as inputs change.
Impact: VEX decisions remain defensible and repeatable.
