Software supply chain threats and increasing regulatory pressures make supply chain security a top priority for software organizations. While building secure applications is a must for any organization, the path to creating secure software is anything but clear. Software bills of materials (SBOMs) have emerged as an essential tool and a roadmap for organizations on their secure software journey.

While most of today’s SBOM efforts revolve around tracking software components, versions and licenses, as SBOM technologies and regulations evolve, organizations should be ready to capitalize on new SBOM-related opportunities. Organizations should start building strategies to leverage SBOM data through a process that identifies applications, creates SBOMs and makes them available for the business to deliver repeatable and ongoing value.
