Security and automation with SBOMs

Unboxing

Conclusions

SBOMs are an important strategy whose implementation is mandated by regulatory requirements. However, they also offer great potential for improving processes for secure software development and increasing cyber resilience, in particular through automation in conjunction with the tools presented here, such as IT asset management, patch management, and others. The regulatory requirements alone force companies to act and do not just apply to software companies, but to all areas in which software is part of a product – for example, the firmware. Companies need to address SBOM and its implications now and should leverage its potential to optimize processes and improve integration between software development and cybersecurity.
