Dropping the SBOM: The Software Bill of Materials and Risk Management

If you care about nutrition, you check the ingredients of your food. If you care about your IT infrastructure, you check the Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) of the tech. At least that’s the future that Thomas Pace hopes for. Right now, SBOMs aren’t super common and software transparency is very low. Thomas walks us through what should be in an SBOM, who in an organization should care about it, and how it can be used for vulnerability management and incident response. He also talks about how wider demand for SBOMs could lead to a future of higher-quality software and more robust cybersecurity.
