Fast severity decisions depend on evidence that remains trustworthy under an emerging-threat alert.
The intake route must reduce reconstruction time while preserving the engineer's control over a verdict that affects customer pulls.
Who you’d be doing this for
“My incident lead wants an answer now, and I’m still chasing which SBOM belongs to the image.”

They enforce image-source and provenance controls for a containerized application platform using signed container artifacts.
What is at stake
Emerging-threat alerts leave engineers piecing together scanner, SBOM, and signature evidence before they can set severity. You must decide what the route gathers automatically and what remains an engineer judgment.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- faster severity decisions vs reviewable evidence
- AI correlation vs engineer judgment
- alert throughput vs verdict reliability
- research context vs operational simplicity
