SECURITY · Production Vulnerability Management

Every component. Every vulnerability.
Every runtime.

Ask where a component is, when it started running, where it came from, and how many known vulnerabilities are in production now. Kosli gives you an answer while the question still matters.

When a disclosure lands, the question is not what you shipped: it is what is running. Kosli joins binary provenance, SBOM records and live runtime forensics to give you the answer.

Before

  • Finding a component means surveying teams.
  • An SBOM says what you shipped.
  • Exposure duration is an estimate.

After

  • Finding a component is a query.
  • Kosli says what is running.
  • Exposure duration has forensics.
Governance Infrastructure

Infrastructure designed for production vulnerability management.

Always know what's running across the estate. Kosli joins code commits, binary provenance, SBOMS with runtime forensics.

Every component inevery environment

A build-time SBOM describes an artifact. It cannot tell you which environments are running it, or for how long. Kosli resolves the component against what is running, and the same fingerprint carries you back through the release, the build, and the commit.

  • Where it runs, right now. The environments, the specific artifacts carrying it, and the repository they were built from.
  • How long you were exposed. Every occurrence with the date it started and the date it stopped, so duration is a fact rather than an estimate.
  • Who released it. The full evidence trail from any artifact in the answer: commit, build, approvals, and the actor who shipped it.

Measure exposure, not scanner output

Scanner volume is not exposure. Counting findings tells you how much your tools produced, not how much of production is affected, or whether the situation is improving. Kosli counts what is running, by severity, against the organisational model you already keep in Kosli.

  • Criticals actually in production. Not the backlog. What is running, now, filtered by severity and sliced by team, department, or environment.
  • A number that holds up. Historical figures are counted as they were known at the time, so a new advisory does not rewrite last quarter and nobody has to explain why the number moved.
  • Improving, or not. Exposure created and exposure closed reported separately, because a flat total hides the difference between a quiet month and thirty new exposures offset by thirty fixes.

Know what you cannot see

A report of forty criticals says nothing about the artifacts carrying no scan data at all. Those read as zeroes, and the estate looks healthier than it is. Kosli reports the gaps as an answer in their own right.

  • Unscanned workloads, counted. Running artifacts with no scan data, no SBOM, or no provenance, each as its own answer.
  • Coverage on every number. Counts arrive with the proportion of the estate they were drawn from, so "we don't know" is visible rather than silent.
  • A governance answer, not a caveat. "We cannot see this much of production" is defensible to an auditor. A false zero is not.

Answers at the speed of the incident

When a disclosure lands, the answer is usually a person joining scanner output to deployment records to Git history under time pressure, while a regulator's clock is already running. Kosli answers the same questions through the interface, the API, the CLI, and MCP.

  • Your agent can ask. Over MCP, an agent asks where a component is running and follows the evidence trail to the commit and the releasing actor, without a person assembling it.
  • Same answers, every surface. Interface, API, CLI, and MCP return the same result from the same record.
  • Every answer dated. Results carry the timestamp of the state they describe, so nobody has to guess how current they are.

Frequently asked

Questions you might be asking.

Still curious? Talk to us →

  • Does Kosli scan for vulnerabilities?

    No. You keep your scanners. Kosli takes the findings they produce, in SARIF or vendor formats, and resolves them against what is actually running, with the provenance behind each artifact attached. The value is not another finding list: it is knowing which findings are in production, and which of your services carry them.

  • How is this different from our scanner or our SBOM tool?

    Those describe an artifact. This describes production. A scanner can tell you a component is present now, but it holds no history and no provenance, so it cannot say when the component arrived, how long it has been there, or who released it. Those three come from the delivery record, not from a scan.

  • Will it tell us when a new CVE affects us?

    Not in the first release. Today you can ask any question and get an answer in minutes, but you have to know to ask. Continuous evaluation against a vulnerability feed, where Kosli tells you an advisory has just made something you are running interesting, is the next step rather than this one.

  • What about artifacts with no SBOM or no scan results?

    They are reported, not silently excluded. Coverage is a first-class answer: you can ask how many running artifacts have no dependency, scan, or provenance evidence, and every count tells you the proportion of the estate it covers.

  • How far back can we ask?

    As far back as Kosli has been recording for you. The start of the record is itself known and reported alongside an answer, so "nothing found" is never confused with "nothing found in the period we have".

  • What do auditors actually get?

    Component and exposure answers as of any date, exposure intervals with a start and an end, and counts computed as they were known at the time, which is what makes a historical figure defensible when someone asks why it changed.

Get started

Ask it where log4j is.

The record is already there. Connect a scanner and an environment, and the question that used to take a fortnight takes a few seconds.
