How SBOMs Strengthen Software Supply Chain Security

In this RunSafe Security Minute, Kelli breaks down the crucial role of Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) in safeguarding the software supply chain. From managing dependencies to identifying vulnerabilities, she explains why SBOMs are essential for reducing your attack surface.

Why SBOMs Are Essential for Software Supply Chain Security

In this RunSafe Security Minute, Kelli explores the pivotal role SBOMs (Software Bills of Materials) play in software supply chain security. She highlights the critical importance of understanding your software’s vulnerabilities to limit its attack surface.

Software applications often rely on a complex web of dependencies, making it challenging to pinpoint potential security risks. SBOMs address this challenge by providing a detailed inventory of all software components in a final application, including essential information such as package names, versions, and identifiers like CPEs or PURLs.

This comprehensive insight allows organizations to quickly assess the impact of newly discovered vulnerabilities and respond with timely patches, ensuring secure software delivery to end-users.

Learn how SBOMs empower organizations to maintain software integrity and protect their supply chain from evolving threats.
