VEX turns container scanning into queue discipline

VEX turns container scanning into queue discipline

Short summary

Effective vulnerability management is primarily a queue-discipline problem, not a detection problem. VEX (Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange) solves this by enabling suppliers to publish signed, machine-readable statements declaring whether vulnerabilities affect specific artifacts. By moving exploitability context from spreadsheets into the supply chain, VEX helps teams distinguish real risks from inherited theoretical threats, suppressing false positives while preserving audit trails.

  • Vulnerability management bottleneck is triage, not detection volume
  • VEX provides signed, machine-readable exploitability statements per artifact
  • Reduces false positives while preserving audit evidence and accountability
