Wide Compatibility with Industry
- CycloneDX, SPDX, and OpenVEX framework from the Open-Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF)
Built for Analysts and Continuous Integration
- Seamlessly integrates within existing CI workflows
Devoted to the Open-Source Community
- Hosted on GitHub, VulnScout.io benefits from shared innovation and global contributions
Anticipating the Cyber Resilience Act
With new security regulations emerging under the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), manufacturers and integrators need efficient compliance solutions. VulnScout.io offers automated Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) management to address vulnerabilities and comply with standards such as IEC62443, IEC62304, UL2900, and DO-326A.
At embedded world 2025 in Nuremberg (March 11–13), Savoir-faire Linux showcased VulnScout.io, offering hands-on demonstrations that revealed how embedded systems developers can use SBOM vulnerability tracking to improve security and compliance.
“From complex industrial controllers to next-gen IoT devices, businesses need a robust solution that scales,” explains Jérôme Oufella, Technology Vice-President at Savoir-faire Linux “VulnScout.io answers that need - and our hands-on experience with Yocto, combined with our background in embedded Linux and the broader open source ecosystem, ensures that it fits naturally into a variety of industry workflows.”
