Today we’re pleased to announce the RKVST SBOM Hub – the first place to find and fetch SBOMs. RKVST SBOM Hub is a secure, immutable, any-to-any framework that integrates into both publisher and subscriber workflows to massively simplify the effective sharing of SBOMs to help all parties comply with the Executive Order. Try it out for yourself here.

The Presidential Executive Order made it clear that the status quo, where the hidden vulnerabilities in cyber supply chains left doors wide open to attackers, can no longer be allowed to persist. It correctly identified transparency as the key principle to build trust and Software Bills of Material as a critical first step of the solution. But while much of the current debate is focused on how to build SBOMs, further and deeper thinking is needed on how to share them.

Do you want to archive old emails now? We’ve all seen the prompt and many of us choose to consign thousands of emails to an uncertain fate, protected (somewhere) in case we should ever need to cover our arses in some future argument. But this paints a very limited and negative picture of the importance and indeed relevance of archives. Today archives are associated with rearward-facing research, often seeking to uncover a truth long after alternative facts have taken hold.
