## What is Root Evidence?

Root Evidence (branded as "Evidence") is a vulnerability management platform focused on evidence-based prioritization of vulnerabilities. The core premise is that the vast majority of identified vulnerabilities do not pose meaningful real-world risk, and organizations should focus remediation efforts on the small subset that are known to cause actual damage if left unaddressed.

Key concepts:
- Shifts vulnerability management from volume-based reporting to proof-driven prioritization
- Provides evidence of which vulnerabilities are known to cause the most damage in practice
- Aims to help organizations determine which vulnerabilities to remediate first based on real-world impact data

The product is currently in an early access / pre-launch phase. The page invites enterprises to join as insiders and gain early access to capabilities before general market availability. There is no detailed feature breakdown or integration list publicly disclosed at this stage.

The founding team includes veterans from WhiteHat Security and Bit Discovery, with leadership including Jeremiah Grossman (CEO), Robert "RSnake" Hansen (CTO), Heather Konold (COO), and Lex Arquette (CPO). The company also maintains an "Evidence Army" — a network of security leaders, engineers, and researchers supporting the platform's direction and outreach.

The platform is positioned for enterprise security teams looking to move away from treating all vulnerabilities as equal priority and instead focus on those with demonstrated, evidence-backed potential for harm.
