Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) What, why and how?
Over the past few years, a succession of major supply chain incidents such as SolarWinds and Log4J have made it painfully apparent that many organisations have insufficient understanding of the dependencies within their software supply chain. Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) is an important building block in tackling this problem. By using SBOMs, organisations can maintain a formalised and permanently up to date overview of all the software used and their dependencies.
