Securing your software supply chain with CISA’s new SBOM guidance
With new and increasing cyber threats abound, navigating global software regulations and staying informed and compliant can seem like an unending task. To help mitigate risks within the software applications organizations use every day, many are increasingly looking to the strategic adoption of software bills of materials (SBOMs) as an effective way to maintain compliance and better secure their software supply chain. An SBOM lists all packages and libraries in an application, including all components' dependencies. This enhanced visibility into what's in a piece of software makes it easier to identify vulnerabilities and license issues, as well as manage risk from open source components.
