Depending on the industry you serve, chances are you’re either grappling with the realities of SBOM management or will be very soon. By providing a detailed breakdown of the packages and libraries included in an application, SBOMs make it possible to manage security vulnerabilities, comply with licensing obligations, and streamline collaboration. SBOMs – and the insight they provide – are becoming indispensable for organizations to protect their software supply chains. In fact, Gartner predicts that by 2026 at least 60% of organizations will mandate SBOM disclosures - up from less than 5% in 2022.
In short, better SBOMs = more secure software supply chains. If you’ve been tasked with producing an SBOM or managing your organization's SBOM strategy, these steps will help you get started.
