Software Bill of Materials (SBOM)
Know exactly where you stand with your open source components
Challenges
Software development is dynamic. Manual SBOMs aren’t.
With different teams using different tools, technology, and constantly updated open source software packages, maintaining an accurate SBOM can be incredibly difficult.
Constant change
From identifying all open source dependencies to continuously monitoring them for updates, staying on top of so many moving parts challenges many security teams.
Manual processes
The continuous stream of changing components and versions is nearly impossible to track manually without human error.
High-stakes automation
While automation is crucial to success, companies face increased risk if it isn’t done right.
Opportunities
Beyond static to effective
Using SBOMs to create software inventories to meet compliance or industry requirements is a great start. However, the possibilities beyond compliance are even more compelling.
Cut the risk of human error
Effective automation that automatically updates open source dependencies and packages across all applications eliminates error-prone manual processes.
Accurate risk assessment
Automating dependency identification provides an accurate and up-to-the minute accurate risk assessment and ensures license compliance.
Prioritize high-risk vulnerabilities
Not all vulnerabilities pose a risk. By knowing whether your code reaches vulnerable functions, you can prioritize remediation based on actual risk.
