The Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) plays a critical role in application security. It provides a detailed inventory of all the components and dependencies used in an application, making it easier to track third-party components and vulnerabilities. SBOMs can be integrated into continuous integration and continuous deployment (CICD) pipelines to ensure the application is secure throughout the development process. Security teams use this information to quickly patch known vulnerabilities and respond to zero-day vulnerabilities. SBOMs also enhance the quality assurance process by ensuring that all components are thoroughly tested and authenticated. Learn how organizations can use SBOMs to better understand their applications’ components, in turn making more informed decisions on risk and vulnerability management and improving their overall security posture.
Learning Objectives:
Describe a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM)
Explain how SBOM helps to strengthen application security.
Integrate and utilize SBOM in the SSDLC, including automated CICD cases.
