EdgeBit provides real-time supply chain security, enabling security teams to target and coordinate vulnerability remediation without toil. Security teams aren’t experts at their company’s apps, so they are forced to distract the most skilled engineers with a firehose of vulnerabilities to investigate.We founded EdgeBit because we believe that we can solve this problem — to empower security teams to prioritize investigation of true risks without wasting engineers time.
