What advantage do I gain from this over periodically running various distro tools that compile CVEs and security advisories into a flat file database and search on top of that, e.g. pkg audit on FreeBSD and glsa-check on Gentoo?

We only show you stuff that affects you, we automate the process, we light up your call tree and we'll be providing metrics and audit logs.

It's definitely a leg up over just being spammed by pkg audit.

Further, we also cover your app dependencies :).
