Getting Started

What is Interlynk?

Interlynk is a platform for automating software supply chain security. It uses Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) and Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange (VEX) as base artifacts for managing and eliminating software supply chain risks.

With Interlynk, you can:

  • Manage SBOMs — Build, request, and collect SBOMs from first-party build pipelines or third-party suppliers

  • Monitor vulnerabilities — Continuously track open-source dependencies and security vulnerabilities

  • Enforce policies — Prevent vulnerable, malicious, or insecure components from entering your codebase

  • Prioritize remediation — Implement risk-based prioritization for vulnerability remediation

  • Meet compliance requirements — Satisfy open-source license and SBOM compliance obligations

How It Works

Interlynk organizes your software supply chain data in a hierarchical model:

Organization → Product → Environment → Version (SBOM) → Components → Vulnerabilities

Upload an SBOM to a Product's Environment, and the platform automatically processes it — running quality checks, scanning for vulnerabilities, evaluating policies, and surfacing actionable insights.
