Vision Isn't About Seeing the Future. It's About Building It.

We are honored to be recognized as a Visionary in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Software Supply Chain Security. Our placement reflects Lineaje's strengths in both Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute.

Lineaje, founded just four years ago, was built on a vision to eliminate risk and threats in software enterprises' source, build, or use. Even as AI transforms software development and Agentic AI transforms what our software does, Lineaje remains true to that vision.

Lineaje has built an AI Security Platform that delivers both AI for Security & Security for AI.

XBOM Management: What’s In Your Software?

Lineaje built the industry’s first SBOM Manager in 2022. Lineaje can now assess the complete portfolio of a large enterprise in about a week, showcasing the riskiest applications and the most secure ones – a report card every enterprise software or security leader needs.

Now we also create and manage AIBOMs, CryptoBOMs, and FirmwareBOMs for software compliance and manageability. Users can manage thousands of BOMs in one place and comply with global regulations.

With XBOM Management, Organizations see Deeper and discover faster than everyone else.

Gold Open-Source: Trust What You Source

95% of modern software risk is sourced from Open Source. With AI Code generation, speed has outpaced trust and AppSec.

Most organizations discover vulnerable or abandoned components only after they have already been introduced into production. By then, the cost of remediation is significantly higher. Customers report spending 20%-25% of their entire dev capacity on vulnerability remediation and still have a long backlog of fixes.

We believe the future of software security is preventing unnecessary risk before it enters the software supply chain.

That's why we built Gold Open Source- on demand.

Gold Open Source continuously delivers enterprise-ready, trusted, curated, and maintained open source packages, images, and patches so organizations can build components they already know they can trust. We cover all the packages and images you use rather than just the ones we pre-curate.

The best vulnerability and embedded code threats are those that never enter your organization.

SBOM360: Self-Healing Source Code, PRs, & Containers

We have customers where developers push code to production hourly and daily. New vulnerabilities are discovered continuously. Exploitability of these vulnerabilities is down to an hour. Reachability changes every time code changes. Frontier Models find more novel and chain low-priority vulnerabilities to create new critical vulnerabilities. Developers are challenged by the sheer volume of fixes needed.

That is why the SBOM360 Autonomous Fix is built for source code, PRs, & containers.

Autonomous Fix generates App-Aware fix plans for builds and containers. It summons compatible Gold Open-source direct dependencies, images, or patches, and rebuilds your applications to validate recommended changes before creating a PR for approval, eliminating most vulnerability risk and about 85% of developer effort to fix.

Vulnerability elimination must keep pace with the rate of code change in the age of AI.

UnifAI: Security of AI, Governance for AI, Protection for AI

Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming part of every enterprise workflow.

Developers rely on coding assistants. Organizations deploy foundation models. Autonomous agents are beginning to make decisions and perform tasks that previously required human oversight. Skills are downloaded, and 2.1% are malicious or suspicious. Prompts are attack vectors, and LLMs are chatty and gossipy.

This changes the security conversation entirely. We need AI Sec, not just AppSec.

This is why we built UnifAI.

UnifAI provides Unified security management for all your AI applications. It discovers all your AI Assets, derives which security policies should apply, and inserts guardrails that defend at runtime. UnifAI secures against AI Threats That Are undetectable by existing threat detection tools, protects your data in opaque AI infrastructure, ensures AI asset-to-AI asset identity, and helps organizations confidently comply with global regulations while maintaining control over the technologies reshaping their business.

As AI becomes enterprise infrastructure, governance becomes just as critical as innovation.

The Software Supply Chain Has Become Continuous & Intelligent

Organizations no longer need security that reacts after software changes. They need security that continuously establishes trust as software evolves.

We believe our recognition as a Visionary in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Software Supply Chain Security reflects the broader shift taking place across the industry.

Software no longer changes a few times each year. Every code commit, dependency update, container rebuild, AI-generated function, and model deployment changes an organization's security posture. Risk is introduced continuously, which means security must operate continuously as well.

Many organizations still depend on point-in-time assessments that provide only a snapshot of risk. By the time vulnerabilities are identified, prioritized, and remediated, the software—and the risks within it—have already changed.

The next generation of security must move beyond point-in-time, periodic verification toward continuous assurance.

That means providing:

  • Continuous visibility across the software supply chain
  • Continuous governance for enterprise AI
  • Continuous trust in every software component
  • Continuous vulnerability elimination
  • Continuous compliance with evolving regulatory requirements

These are not independent capabilities. Together, they represent a new operating model for securing software and AI.

Building What's Next

Technology markets evolve when foundational assumptions change.

Cloud transformed infrastructure.

Open source transformed software development.

Artificial intelligence is transforming both.

The next generation of security platforms won't simply identify vulnerabilities after software is built. They will continuously establish trust, continuously verify software integrity, continuously govern AI, and continuously reduce risk across the entire software supply chain.

We believe that the future has already begun.

Our recognition as a Visionary reflects the direction the market is heading, but our focus remains on helping organizations prepare for what comes next.

The next generation of security will not be defined by how many vulnerabilities an organization finds. It will be defined by how continuously it establishes trust across software, open source, and AI.

That's the future we're building.
