If you’ve ever run an SBOM tool on a C/C++ codebase and gotten results that felt wrong, you’re not imagining it. Teams evaluating tools like Black Duck, Syft, Trivy, and FOSSA on embedded projects routinely find that outputs are incomplete, inconsistent,...
If you’re running a proof of concept on Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) tooling for C/C++, you’ve probably already discovered that vendor demos don’t tell you much. Tools that look capable in a sales presentation frequently fall apart when pointed...
Key Takeaways: The FDA is asking medical device manufacturers to submit VEX (Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange) files alongside SBOMs in some premarket cybersecurity submissions. VEX artifacts document whether known vulnerabilities in SBOM-listed components are...
Your SBOM is only as useful as it is accurate, and the method you use for Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) generation determines the level of accuracy you will receive. SBOM generation method determines whether an SBOM captures what developers declared, what scanners...
Generating an accurate Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) for C/C++ code is notoriously difficult. Unlike ecosystems with centralized package managers, C/C++ projects rely on vendored code, static linking, and manual dependency management, which causes most SBOM tools...
A Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) is a machine-readable inventory of every component, library, and dependency inside a software application. Think of it as a detailed ingredient list that reveals exactly what’s bundled into your code—including the open source...
