Software bill of materials (SBOMs) a critical component of software supply chain security

​

Many software providers build their applications by relying on open-source and commercial software components. In November 2022, open-source toolkit developers announced two high-severity vulnerabilities that affect all versions of OpenSSL 3.0.0 up to 3.0.6. Vulnerabilities like this will continue to occur. So how should organizations prepare? One of the most effective tools for finding and addressing such vulnerabilities, and keeping software secure, is the software bill of materials (SBOM).
