Did your software team scramble when the Log4j vulnerability became public? Was it easy for your team to identify the different versions used in all your software projects? Are you ready for when the next big open source vulnerability hits?

Software bills of materials (SBOMs) are effective at helping you identify all the software components that are embedded in your applications. This is not only useful when a security incident arises but is becoming a necessary requirement to ensure software transparency.

Just as food labels provide consumers with a list of ingredients in the food they consume, an SBOM provides software consumers with a list of components included in the software they procure. In addition, an SBOM can also help to gauge the quality of those software components.

In this Techstrong Learning Experience, learn how SBOM generation can easily become a part of your continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline and how developers can leverage SBOMs to produce higher-quality software products.

Key Takeaways:

• Why SBOMs are important
• Using SBOMS in your CI/CD pipeline
• Using SBOMs to produce high-quality, transparent software
• Why some SBOMs are better than others
