Lynx Software Technologies Enhances Security with Vigiles Tool
Vigiles Processes Over 90,000 SBOMs, Reducing False Positive CVEs by 95%, Helping Customers Secure Critical Systems Across Key Industries and Prevent Costly Threats
Lynx Software Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: LYNX), a pioneer in foundational software solutions tailored for essential edge operations, has observed a rising adoption of its Timesys Vigiles™. This innovative SBOM and vulnerability management suite has not only been introduced but has also gained traction across various crucial sectors, notably automotive, medical, and industrial domains.
The shifting landscape in cybersecurity reinforces the ongoing requirement for efficient solutions tailored for SBOM lifecycle management. Vigiles stands out by processing an astonishing number of over 90,000 SBOMs through diverse ecosystems like Yocto, Buildroot, and Timesys Factory. It is built to support a broad range of import/export formats including CSV, XML, JSON, CycloneDX, and SPDX, streamlining security management for organizations striving to meet compliance standards.
The exponential growth in the number of Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) underlines the urgency of advanced vulnerability management tools. Reports indicate that the number of reported CVEs has surged significantly in recent times, which has implications for organizations' resource allocation for security management. Timesys Vigiles aims to alleviate this burden by reducing the identification of false-positive CVEs by as much as 85%, thus empowering teams to concentrate on real vulnerabilities that could threaten their operations.
The Cost of Supply Chain Vulnerabilities
The financial implications of supply chain disturbances in mission-critical fields can run into significant figures, potentially costing from $100,000 to over $1 million daily. Such staggering costs emphasize the necessity for robust security measures. Vigiles effectively mitigates threats as it can avert up to 70% of incidents resulting from software vulnerabilities, assisting Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and device makers in addressing these vulnerabilities throughout the product lifecycle.
