The rising adoption of Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) platforms by organizations to manage their application security from a single platform has led to new requirements, especially in large organizations with diverse workforces and varied responsibilities. While centralization through ASPM enhances visibility, it also creates a single point of failure if not implemented correctly. Therefore, granular access controls are crucial to prevent unauthorized access.

Software Bills of Material (SBOMs) are documents which contain a list of components and dependencies of a given software ecosystem, like a list of ingredients in a recipe. On its own, an SBOM can provide some context to how the application was created, what kinds of functionality it may contain, as well as provide a glimpse into the lifecycle of the software project.
