What is a software bill of materials?

An Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) can allow you to respond to the security, license, and operational risks that result from open source use.

In a nutshell an SBOM is a list of all the open source and third-party components present in a codebase. The concept originates from manufacturing, where a Bill of Materials is an inventory detailing all the items included in a product. For example, car manufacturers maintain a detailed Bill of Materials for each vehicle.

Why do organisations need an SBOM?

Recent high-profile security breaches, including Codecov, Kaseya, and Apache Log4j has prompted organizations to take these types of supply chain attacks more seriously.

These events also led President Biden to issue a Cybersecurity Executive Order (EO) detailing guidelines for businesses looking to engage with the Federal Government. Included is a requirement for delivering an SBOM along with any software developed for the Government.

These guidelines, which include SBOMs, are expected to become the baseline for how all industries accept software applications.

Any organisation that builds software should maintain an SBOM for their codebases.

Do your developers use open source components in your code?

Open Source helps shorten development time and increase speed of execution. However failure to adequately secure your code introduces greater risk to your organization’s overall security.

Few companies have visibility into the open source they use, and fewer can produce accurate, up-to-date SBOMs that include open source components.

How can SBOMs help?

SBOM lists all Open Source components in your applications as well as those components’ licenses, versions, and patch status.

SBOM provides a list of versions of Open Source components in your code, which can be helpful to determine if you’re using any outdated, potentially insecure code.

Maintaining SBOMs is critical if you want to respond quickly to the security, license, and operational risks that can come with Open Source software use. We can help you in the design, creation and policy development for managing your Open Source components.
