The Importance of SBOMs

In this quick video, our CTO explains why generating SBOMs at build time gives you the most complete picture of software risk—and how RunSafe makes it easy.

Why Build-Time SBOMs Are Critical for Software Security

Build-Time SBOMs: Your First Line of Defense in Software Security

The software you write might be secure—but what about the libraries, vendor binaries, or open-source packages you’re pulling in? In this video, RunSafe Security’s CTO breaks down why build-time Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) are the most effective way to gain complete visibility into your software’s risk profile.

He explains how relying solely on source-level or binary-level SBOMs can leave dangerous gaps in your security posture. By contrast, build-time SBOMs capture everything that goes into your software—whether it’s JavaScript, Python, Node, or compiled C/C++—right from your CI/CD pipeline.

With compliance requirements from the FDA and DoD becoming more stringent, build-time SBOMs aren’t just a best practice—they’re essential. Learn how RunSafe Security integrates directly into your pipeline to simplify the process, uncover both known and unknown vulnerabilities, and help ensure you’re shipping secure code.
