⚠️ Did you know that generating SBOMs is or will be mandatory for some projects in the 🇺🇸 and 🇪🇺? It is important to implement SBOMs to keep your environment secure.

Software Bill of Materials is required for some US projects as a consequence of “Executive order 14028". In the EU it will be enforced by the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).

SBOM gives you more transparency and security across your components. Also keep in mind, that SBOM alone is not enough, and it needs to be followed with automated actions.

An SBOM is essentially a list of all the ingredients that make up your software – components, libraries, dependencies, etc. It’s like a nutrition label for your software.

Implementing SBOM generation and management can seem daunting, but it’s becoming an essential practice.
