Needs

Regulatory reporting. New product cybersecurity rules require us to supply bills of materials and vulnerability reports across our whole portfolio.

Today: maintainers prepare disclosure, bills of materials and longer support windows for the product-security law · Urgency: now

Application security & code scanning. We fuzz and statically analyse a very large codebase and need faster triage from finding to published advisory.

Today: regular code reviews, static analysis and fuzzing run by a core security group of developers · Urgency: this year

SOC 2 / ISO 27001 automation. Keeping our information security certification current across many sites and acquired units takes too much manual coordination.

Today: company-level security certification obtained; surveillance cycles handled by internal staff · Urgency: this year
